 Waterfowl Observation Day
2009 Fall Flight Surveys (previously called Waterfowl Surveys)
Fall flights include more than just waterfowl estimates. Great blue heron, and bald eagle estimates are in these surveys.
Refuge Manager Selected
Kevin Foerster of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex has
been selected to replace Don Hultman as Refuge Manager. Kevin should
arrive sometime in early November.
This 261 mile Refuge was established by an
Act of Congress on
June 7, 1924, as a
refuge and breeding place for migratory birds, fish, wildlife, and plants.
The north end begins at the confluence
of the Mississippi and
Chippewa rivers near
Wabasha, Minnesota and the south end
is near Rock Island, Illinois.
Just over
240,000 acres of wooded
islands, marshes,
and backwaters comprise the Refuge.
It's an anglers paradise, a waterfowl hunters dream,
and a birdwatchers bounty.
Come visit your national wildlife refuge.
