Children into birding and very focused on finding and identifying birds on the bird walk during a camping trip

Birding

At Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge

There are plenty of opportunities for bird watching at the refuge, whether it be during migrating or breeding season. If you don't have your own binoculars, just borrow a pair from our visitor center during normal business hours and head out to an overlook to spot great blue herons, Canada geese, or even a bald eagle. On our wooded trails you may spot orioles, woodpeckers and a variety of warblers. Refuge trails and overlooks are open sunrise to sunset.

Check out our refuge e-bird list for information on seasonal occurrence and abundances of bird species the refuge.
