Where to walk and bike around Thanksgiving: Red River National Wildlife Refuge, Teague Parkway, Bossier City

"Kinglets, brown creepers, white-throated sparrows, winter wrens and juncos can only be seen in the south during winter," says Terri Jacobsen of Red River National Wildlife Refuge. "Migrating ducks like Northern shovelers, green-winged teal and gadwell fly south to spend winters on Refuge waters."

"Be sure to take a break from the bustle of the holiday season to enjoy nature’s gifts," reminds Jacobsen.

"Refuge buildings are closed on Thanksgiving but the property is open to visit during daylight hours."
