If you like birds on posts, if seeing “little brown jobs” posing nicely in the distance as you drive or walk along a dirt road only to have it fly away as you approach makes you deliriously happy, then North Dakota is the place for you. I wanted to see prairie birds and I wanted to experience a new state.

The Refuge has also become a place where people can experience and learn about wildlife and the places they call home, whether through self-guided discovery or by participating in one of our many educational programs. The Service proposes opening the following refuges to sport fishing for the first time: North Dakota.

In June, I visited North Dakota for the first time. The experience was marvelous — but it also weighed heavily on me. They had two world-class datasets on which to draw the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, and the North American Breeding Bird Survey. That’s one of my photos above.
