Ames’ Ronald “Dick” Jordan Family Wildlife Area is ideal for quiet wildlife and landscape vignettes: cattail ponds, marsh edges, and tree-lined paths where songbirds and waterfowl often pause in open light. Expect early-morning stillness; overcast days are especially good for soft, even tones in wetlands.
