back to the refuge

The visitor center at the Parker River Wildlife Refuge opened this past weekend for the first time in 16 months. My last volunteer shift (before yesterday) was back in February of 2020, right before Covid-19 crashed into the world. It feels good to be back.

After I finished my shift I headed into the refuge for a walk. The Hellcat trail was a good destination; the cool air and light wind kept the bugs away. Unfortunately that wasn't the case when I stopped to walk along the road on the inland side of the refuge - the greenhead flies are moving in!
