Ankeny Hill, Oregon
Located just south of Salem, Oregon, Ankeny Hill National Wildlife Refuge is the area's premier bird viewing site. With many vistas, trails, and blinds, the refuge suits hobby viewers as well as seasoned veterans.
Established in 1965, after years of declining geese populations, the refuge now serves to sustain those populations, by maintaining winter crops and providing ample space to relax and breed until Spring.
Open year round, from sun up to sun down, Ankeny is a must-see for even casual nature observers. Easily accessed from Interstate 5, the refuge is five minutes from the freeway. Take Exit 243 and head west.
