The refuge's wetlands are home to a wide range of birds including ducks, geese, herons, egrets and Bald Eagles. Keep a sharp eye and spot up to 200 eagles as the ice goes out on the marsh. The best times for observing large concentrations of birds are April through mid-May and October through mid-November.
