What We Do

Wintering Raptors

The refuge provides important habitat for wintering raptors that depend upon its expansive grasslands for hunting and cover. Raptors such as the short-eared owl (state-endangered), northern harrier (state-threatened) and rough-legged hawk (light and dark phases) can often be found hunting the open grasslands.
