The Friends of the Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge will host a special Least Terns event at the Cane Ridge Management Area on June 15 from 8-10:00 am CST. Least Terns, an Indiana endangered species, come to the Cane Ridge area every summer to nest. Come learn about the Least Tern and what the Refuge is doing to ensure the species survival. Experienced birdwatchers will assist with the identification of the Least Tern and other birds and waterfowl in the area. Viewing will be from an outdoor observation platform and binoculars are recommended but not required.
