Birders know that some of the finest birding locations in the country are on federal land , which include national parks , wildlife refuges , forests , monuments , and seashores , among others. For example, the federal government owns less than 1% in Connecticut but nearly 80% in Nevada. But what else should birders know?

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. Desert NWR (Nevada): 0.0%. How important are 10,000 or 100,000 or even 1,000,000 acres and where are those acres anyhow?
