Wetlands are among the most active and productive habitats in the world. In the spring and fall, Modoc Refuge’s wetlands are a busy hub and staging area for ducks, geese and other migratory birds. By summer, nesting birds have taken up residence. Although the refuge is not primarily managed for mammals, mule deer and pronghorn antelope, badgers, weasels and otters, hares and rabbits, moles and shrews, mice and rats, and an occasional mountain lion or bobcat all take advantage of wetland resources.
