Continued . . . Several species of marsh and wading birds can be found on the refuge, including white ibis; great, snowy and cattle egrets; and great blue, little blue, green-backed and yellow-crowned night herons. Common shorebirds include killdeer, snipe, least and pectoral sandpipers, and greater and lesser yellowlegs. The more abundant raptors include the red-tailed hawk, northern harrier, American kestrel and Mississippi kite. Also check out the white-tail deer, gray and fox squirrels, swamp rabbit and a variety of small fur-bearers. And don't miss the all-time-favorite, the American alligator, a resident of the sloughs, streams, and shallow ponds.
