Description
The color-cloaked undulating branches of the trees are reaching and waving to the crisp blue sky at the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. Per the Fish and Wildlife Service website, the Refuge, established in 1941, is comprised of over 31,000 acres of saltwater bays, estuaries and brackish marshes at the mouth of the Chassahowitzka River. The refuge, located approximately 65 miles north of St. Petersburg, FL, was established primarily to protect waterfowl habitat and is home to over 250 species of birds, over 50 species of retiles and amphibians, and at least 25 different species of mammals, including the endangered West Indian Manatee.
