    Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, Vermont. Missisquoi is home to the largest great blue heron rookery in Vermont. Some 300 pairs of this majestic bird raise more than 1,000 young in a noisy colony on Shad Island near the Canadian border. Cross-country skiing and ice fishing are popular activities in winter. Blueberry-picking and frogging are permitted in late summer. This refuge is also open to hunting for deer, waterfowl, and small game, subject to state and Federal regulations. A walk along the nature trail may reveal woodcock, beaver, hummingbirds, muskrats, or kingfishers. Tens of thousands of waterfowl migrate through, some stopping to nest, supported by wild rice, bulrush, arrowhead, and other aquatic vegetation.
