About
The refuge is a haven for wildlife in every season. In spring and fall, thousands of waterfowl, shorebirds, and wading birds stop to rest and feed on the Refuge’s wetlands. In summer, the grasslands fill with the songs of bobolinks, western meadowlarks, and upland sandpipers, while ducks such as gadwalls, blue-winged teal, and canvasbacks raise their young. The Refuge is also home year-round to mink, coyote, badger, white-tailed deer, and many other species that thrive in the prairie climate, along with butterflies, dragonflies, and native wildflowers.
