- The '''Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge''' is part of the wider Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex which includes the ["Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge"], ["Llano Seco Ranch"], and the ["Delevan National Wildlife Refuge"]. Popular birding months are from late October through February -- perhaps into later months as well (someone needs to let us know). There is an autotour route with a radio guide on 93.1 FM -- you'll hear the history of the refuge and be given hints on identifying waterfowl. While you're not allowed to get out of the vehicle while driving on the autotour, midway there is parking and a large stand with free scopes for convenient bird watching. In addition, bathrooms are located in the same general area. The road is gravel and the speed limit is 20mph in most areas.	+ The '''Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge''' is part of the wider Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex which includes the ["Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge"], ["Llano Seco Ranch"], and the ["Delevan National Wildlife Refuge"].
