Wildlife and Habitat

New management techniques are being planned that will re-establish native vegetation to provide forage for wintering geese, as well as additional habitat for breeding songbirds and upland game birds. High priority species that nest on the Refuge include the bald eagle, prothonotary warbler, northern bobwhite, and grasshopper sparrow.
In order to assess the evolving biological needs of the Refuge, staff are working with conservation partners on surveys of eagle nests, waterfowl, marsh birds, songbirds, rare plants, amphibians, reptiles, small and large mammals, and insects. This information will be used to develop up-to-date management plans and strategies.
