Caddo Lake Wildlife Refuge
The Wildlife Refuge has a lot of animals and plants. It has a large cypress forest with trees that are almost 400 years old! I didn't even know trees could live that long! The forest was very green and pretty. The Refuge supports some of the most diverse plant communities in Texas. For the migratory bird species, the wetlands were very important. This area has some of the highest breeding populations, such as wood ducks, for many birds in the United States. About 216 bird, 47 mammal, and 90 reptile species live here. This Refuge has a major contribution to birds! It was fun looking at some animals and going through the forest. But a number of plant sand animals are endangered here. Some endangered species are - Peregrine Falcon, and the Alligator Snapping Turtle. After looking around some more and taking pictures, I decided that this was all for today. Tomorrow I would be going to Wichita Falls, and it was a pretty long drive to get there!
