Not long ago, I posted a list of the 25 best National Wildlife Refuges for birding. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has published a list of NWRs that have been created or expanded with Duck Stamp funds. In fiscal year 2017 , funds available to the MBCF totaled about $87 million. Horicon NWR (Wisconsin): 98.7%.
