The observation deck near the Refuge headquarters provides an expansive view of the main pool area where Bald Eagles, Tundra Swans, geese, and ducks can be seen resting and feeding. 

​

Take a drive along the wildlife tour loop to catch a glimpse of wild turkeys, white-tailed deer or a determined northern harrier.  Enjoy the view of the waving prairie grasses as they camouflage a fluttering song sparrow or gleeful meadowlarks.  The diverse mix of wetland, forest, and prairie habitats within the Refuge supports a great variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.  A detailed list of Refuge flora and fauna can be found by accessing the Refuge planning site.
