Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge - Gulf Shores, AL
The name Bon Secour comes from the French meaning safe harbor, very appropriate considering the sanctuary for native flora and fauna that the refuge provides. The refuge serves the additional benefit of comprising one of the largest undeveloped parcels of land on the Alabama coast. Its dunes are a reminder of the Gulf Coast, as it once existed. As a consequence, the refuge has been named as one of the 10 natural wonders of Alabama.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is a 7,157-acre (29 km2) National Wildlife Refuge located in five separate units in Baldwin and Mobile Counties, United States, directly west of Gulf Shores, Alabama on the Fort Morgan Peninsula. The refuge serves as a resting and feeding area for migratory birds and as a sanctuary for native flora and fauna. The refuge is one of the largest undeveloped parcels of land on the Alabama coast.
Established in 1980, Bon Secour (the name, in French, means safe harbor) is smaller than most other national wildlife refuges, and is divided into Sand Bayou, Perdue, Little Point Clear, Fort Morgan, and Little Dauphin Island.
The Perdue unit is the most developed. Most units are located on the Fort Morgan Peninsula in Baldwin County, except Little Dauphin Island, which is in Mobile County. More than 50,000 guests visit the refuge annually. The fiscal year 2005 budget was $404,000.
Protected habitats within the refuge include beaches and sand dunes, scrub forest, fresh and saltwater marshes, fresh water swamps, and uplands.

I decided Saturday it was time to head back out to the refuge to check on the conditions.. What I found was more Tar balls and the BP Oil pools were back .. Mother nature continues to expose Bp's Deception not only within the Refuge but also else where along the Alabama Gulf Coast . There have been a minimum of 6 NRC reports filed within the past few days here along the Alabama Gulf Coast . No matter what the BP tourism commercials say ... IT'S NOT OVER !! THE OIL IS STILL HERE AND SO ARE WE !!

America's Wildest Places - Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, Alabama
The Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge is located on both banks of the Chattahoochee River in south-east Alabama and south-west Georgia. Named after the city of Eufaula, the refuge offers a variety of wetland and upland habitats for diverse fauna. A prominent feature of the abundant wetlands is Lake Eufaula (Walter F. George Reservoir) and several feeder streams.
The Eufaula NWR is home to a large variety of birds, mammals, reptiles and insects. Habitats range from lake to shallow shores, from creeks to wetlands, from open fields to shaded woodlands. In addition to the many species which call the refuge home year round, many more use the refuge as a migratory destination or stop over during the fall, winter and spring.
The refuge's primary purpose is to provide habitat for wintering waterfowl, other migratory birds and resident species; to provide habitat and protection for endangered or threatened species; and to provide wildlife oriented recreational opportunities for the public.
Waterfowl can be seen most easily November through February. Visitors are directed to the Upland Waterfowl Viewing Platform overlooking the Upland Impoundment. It is a covered, open-air pavilion, and the impoundment is a shallow water area managed specifically as a waterfowl resting and feeding area.
To see wading and water-birds, visitors are directed to one of four impoundments, three of which have active nesting colonies of several species.
In the spring, breeding herons and egrets can be seen on Bird Island visible from the Wildlife Drive. The island is off limits to visitors.
Migratory songbirds can best be seen on walks into wooded areas around the wildlife drive or other areas. Many other wildlife species such as alligators, hawks, and deer can be seen along the 7-mile wildlife drive.
TRAVEL & TOURISM
In general, the refuge is open to visitors during daylight hours, seven days a week. Brochures are available at the leaflet racks located at the entrance to the wildlife drive, at the headquarters, and at the entrance of the Kennedy and Bradley units. There is a 7-mile auto route, two viewing towers, and a walking trail.
The best time to observe most wildlife is the early morning or late afternoon hours. Some species can be observed during mid-day.
Refuge tours are provided for organized scout, school, and church groups or other organizations. Off-refuge programs are provided to civic groups, school classes, or any other organization when staff/volunteers are available.
Only licensed vehicles are permitted. Access is limited to gravel roads; some roads are closed seasonally. ATVs are prohibited. Horseback riding is permitted on gravel roads only. Riders are cautioned to watch for vehicles. Non-motorized bikes are permitted on gravel roads only. Hunters, fishermen and wildlife observers are encouraged to use bicycles to access remote areas.
