Wilderness Portraits by Lloyd Paul Aiello

River in the Round

The sun shines through the trees and reflections dance atop the Concord River as it flows through Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts. The refuge consists of more than 3,800 acres of which roughly 85 percent is comprised of freshwater wetlands stretching along 12 miles of the Concord and Sudbury Rivers. It is a nesting, resting, and feeding habitat for wildlife, especially migratory birds, that is protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Over 220 species of birds have been identified in the refuge. The first tract of refuge land was donated by Samuel Hoar in 1944. (single fisheye exposure)
