Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, założony w 1973 roku, znajduje się 12 mil od południowego wybrzeża Rhode Island i znajduje się na morenie czołowej ukształtowanej przez osady glacjalne tworzące faliste wydmy. Obejmuje 133 akry i jest krytycznym miejscem postoju ptaków wędrownych na wybrzeżu Atlantyku, z owocującymi krzewami zapewniającymi niezbędne pożywienie dla gatunków ptaków, które tam odpoczywają. Te dzikie tereny są znane na całym świecie ze spektakularnych obserwacji ptaków i zapierających dech w piersiach plaż barierowych.

Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1973, is located 12 miles off the southern coast of Rhode Island and sits on a terminal moraine shaped by glacial till deposits creating rolling dunes. Covering 133 acres, it is a critical migratory bird stopover point on the Atlantic coast, with fruit-bearing shrubs providing essential food for the species of birds that come to rest there. These wild lands are known internationally for spectacular bird watching and breathtaking barrier beaches.
