Additionally, I have written about Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs), which are important but underappreciated parts of the National Wildlife Refuge System. In late June, I flew into O’Hare and drove north to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Horicon NWR covers the northern part of the marsh and the remainder is a state wildlife area.

ALWAYS assume there is some other bird species in there that you have not found yet. Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Here is a flock of endangered species. Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, North Dakota. Some birds breed in flocks, at least in part to avoid predation. Buldir Island, AK.

Photographed at Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge, MT. Most of them are essentially telling you what species they are when they talk, so just focusing on appearance may make the identification process more complicated than it has to be. Photographed at Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge, ND. See, it’s not so scary!
