 No, no, no, no! Whoa, who are you? The Puddles, the mascot for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Hey, what's wrong? The city's so great. I wish we could go someplace colorful and wild. Hey, Puddles! There you are! Hey, City! We were wishing we could visit a wild place outside of the city. I know just the place, and it's close! Hop in! Where are we? It's so beautiful open and green! This is the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. Just one of over 500 National Wildlife Refuges located across the country. Yes, thousands of ducks and geese migrate here to spend their winter because most of their natural habitat is gone. Hello, Teddy. Just passing through or coming down for a visit. There are lots of us resting and feeding here since we have traveled thousands of miles from our northern breeding grounds. Okay, let's check it out. Wow, what are those? Oh, the northern shovelers known for their spoon-shaped bills. They're stirring up the water, causing food to funnel up to the surface. Oh look, an American bidder and black-tailed deer. The brown colors help them hide from predators. I didn't know refuges helped all types of wildlife. Refuges are great wild places.
