What do you need when you go on a long trip? Just like people, birds need places to rest and eat when traveling between their winter and summer residences. Refuge islands offer migratory birds "refueling" stops on such journeys.

• 200 bird species use the refuge, most during migrations.
• 80 species of birds next on the refuge.
