Habitat: 4800 acres of Marsh, Native and Restored Grassland, Southern Hardwood Forest, Bottomland Hardwoods, Open Water, and Cropland.
Best Birds: The prairie areas along Conservation Road and Bastian Road hold Willow Flycatcher, Sedge Wren, Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, and Dickcissel. An impoundment is accessible along a rough “trail” from the SE parking lot heading south. The impoundment holds Trumpeter Swan, Black Tern, American White Pelican, American Bittern, Black-crowned Night Heron, Marsh Wren, and Swamp Sparrow. Depending on water levels, this area can be outstanding for spring waterfowl and fall shorebirds.
