[Overview the Earth] No.2065: Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge🇺🇸 Astronaut Thomas Pesquet captured from #ISS #DonEdwardsSanFranciscoBayNationalWildlifeRefuge. Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge ( #DESFBNWR) is a United States National Wildlife Refuge located in the southern part of San Francisco Bay, California. Most of the refuge stretches along the marshy shoreline north and south of the Dumbarton Bridge, but Bair Island, in San Mateo County, is also part of the system. The refuge spans of open bay, salt pond, salt marsh, mudflat, upland and vernal pool habitats located throughout south San Francisco Bay. Located along the Pacific Flyway, the refuge hosts over 280 species of birds each year. The variety of birds that may call the refuge home or use it as a stopover include white pelicans, white-tailed kites, hawks, ospreys, and eagles. Millions of shorebirds and waterfowl stop to refuel here during the spring and fall migration. It also provides critical habitat to resident species like the endangered California clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse.
