Birding

From bald eagles to spoonbills, from condors to puffins, birds abound on national wildlife refuges. Refuges provide places for birds to nest, rest, feed and breed making them world-renown for their birding opportunities.

Here at Desert NWR, Corn Creek offers excellent birding year-round. To learn what species have been sighted recently, stop by the visitor center or check eBird.

Feel free to download this bird checklist or grab a copy from the visitor center.
