Geese, ducks, pelicans, and partridges are just a few of the many types of birds that live and thrive here. Some only come for certain times of the year, sometimes by the thousands, and others stick around all seasons.

Along with birds, the refuge is home to animals like beavers, porcupines, and deer, just to name a few. You can see all these by visiting the refuge and taking the trails or auto route.
