Birding on Refuges |
||
|
There are more than 700 species of birds on National Wildlife Refuges. More than 200 refuges were created specifically to protect, manage and restore habitat for migratory birds. You may find birding guides or checklists on individual refuge Web sites. The U.S. Geological Survey also keeps birding checklists for some refuges. A guide provides pictures and descriptions of birds; a checklist provides more detailed information, including the best time of year to see individual species. Find Your Refuge
