Wildlife watching
Whether you prefer driving, hiking, or sitting quietly in nature, the Refuge offers excellent opportunities for visitors to observe wildlife, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors. Numerous species of ducks and other waterbirds can be seen from April through November. The best times for viewing migratory waterfowl are May and October, when the birds congregate during migration. In the uplands, grassland birds can be seen throughout the breeding season. Sharp-tailed grouse and white-tailed deer can be seen year-round.
