Birding

Depending on what you are seeking, Rainwater Basin Wetland Management District offers year-round birding opportunities. Early spring migration (February-March) provides the greatest opportunity to see the largest numbers of birds with concentrations reaching into the 10s of thousands. Late spring migration (End of March-Early June) provides the potential opportunity to see more varieties of birds ranging from American bald eagles, Sandhill cranes, red-winged blackbirds, white-faced ibis, Wilson's phalaropes, and even whooping cranes. Summer, fall, and winter provide different opportunities to view birds such as warblers, killdeer, pheasants, and hawks.
