NATCHEZ — The St. Catherine Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Adams County is set to be featured as part of a National Geographic Channel series at 8, 9 and 10 p.m. today.
The miniseries is called “Wild Mississippi,” and will be shown in three consecutive parts.
The series focuses on the ever-changing elements of the Mississippi River and its effects on wildlife.
The show’s production crew spent an entire year traveling the length of the river to collect footage, including a stop at the refuge.
The first segment — “Wild Mississippi: Deep Freeze” focuses on harsh winter survival strategies of the northern U.S.
The second segment — “Raging Waters” — looks at the flood of this past spring.
The third part — “Delta Blues” — focuses on the Mississippi Delta.
The local refuge is a home or stopping place for a wide variety of birds and other wildlife.
The National Geographic Channel is channel 495 on the CableOne HDTV package. It is also available through area satellite providers.
