Category: Birding

Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge serves primarily as a nesting, feeding, resting and staging area for migratory waterfowl. The varied habitats support approximately 266 species of birds – making it an excellent location for birders.

You can read our articles on birding below, or check out some of our birding tools like:
INWR Bird Finder – Trying to see a specific species? Pick a bird and see where other birders have sighted it!
INWR Birding Hotspots – See where on the refuge birders have been seeing the most birds.
INWR Bird Cam – During nesting season, we manage cameras in some of the nesting sites.
