********************************************



If you're looking for something to do this Saturday, come drive the auto
tour route at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge.  The drive is approximately 7
miles long, and travels through parts of the refuge that are normally closed
to the public.  The entrance gate opens at 9:00 a.m. and closes at 4:30
p.m., and all vehicles must be off the refuge at 5:30 p.m.  Recent sightings
include rough-legged hawks and snow buntings, as well as the typical winter
residents.  You can pick up an auto tour guide at the entrance gate.  For
more information, call the refuge at (419) 898-0014 or visit the website,
