It's a watery theme this time, as Volume 3 starts just north of Boston, on Massachusetts' Parker River National Wildlife, a unique island habitat that draws thousands of visitors a year to this prized jewel in the refuge chain. Your journey continues at Missisquoi Refuge in far northern Vermont, an aquatic haven for herons and other bird life on the U.S.-Canada border. Shorebirds are the stars at Virginia's Chincoteague Refuge, where sun, sand, and shore intersect at this avian hotspot. Water is an endangered species in Cabeza Prieta Refuge in Arizona, where tenacious desert mammals and plants struggle to prevail in this parched landscape along the Mexican border. Yet water abounds on the refuges in Alaska, where colonies of colonial nesting birds swirl high above the turbulent waters of the north Pacific. You'll cap your sojourn on the National Wildlife Refuge System with a 6-minute overview of the entire network, in "America's Best-Kept Secret," produced for the system's 100th anniversary in 2003.
