Audubon National Wildlife Refugehttp://www.r6.fws.gov/REFUGES/AUDUBON/Coleharbor, North Dakota. Welcome to Audubon National Wildlife Refuge in west central North Dakota. Thank you for visiting our pages on the world wide web. Chase Lake National Wildlife Refugehttp://chaselake.fws.gov/Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge lies on the Missouri Coteau, a prairie region once covered with glaciers over 10,000 years ago. As the glacier carved its way across the state, shallow depressions or dents were created. Once the glacier melted, water collected in these depressions. Today, this area is known as the Prairie Pothole Region, one of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. It supports more than 200 species of migratory birds and is known as the duck factory of North America. Des Lacs National Wildlife Refugehttp://deslacs.fws.gov/Des Lacs NWR encompasses more than 19,500 acres along the Des Lacs River from the Canadian border to a point eight miles south of Kenmare, North Dakota. A mix of natural lakes and managed wetlands in the valley provide a haven for migrating and nesting waterfowl and marsh birds. J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refugehttp://www.fws.gov/jclarksalyer/J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge lies astride the lower reaches of the Souris River in McHenry and Bottineau counties.

North Dakota - US Fish & Wildlife Service Refugeshttp://www.r6.fws.gov/nd.htmlParks etc. North Dakota`s Prairie Potholeshttp://northdakotapartners.fws.gov/nd21.htmLocated in the heart of the Prairie Pothole Region, North Dakota contains wetland densities exceeding 150 wetlands per square mile in many areas... Sullys Hill National Game Preservehttp://sullyshill.fws.gov/Sullys Hill National Game Preserve. Located near Devils Lake, North Dakota, Sullys Hill National Game Preserve is home to richly forested hills, wetlands, and prairie grasslands. Due to this varied habitat Sullys Hill is also home to over 250 species of migratory birds and waterfowl. The refuge consists of 1,674 acres of varied habitat and maintains a big game unit, which is home to American Plains Bison, Rocky Mountain Elk, Whitetail Deer, Wild Turkey, Prairie Dogs, and many other wildlife species. At Sullys Hill there is something for everyone who enjoys the outdoors. Upper Souris National Wildlife Refugehttp://mountain-prairie.fws.gov/refuges/souris/souris.htmThe 1930`s brought drought to the Great Plains and disaster to waterfowl. Populations of ducks plummeted to all time lows and conservationists began to act. A flamboyant political cartoonist from Iowa, Jay N. Ding Darling, became director of the newly formed Bureau of Biological Survey and chose J. Clark Salyer as his top aide.
Travelling Birder 1999 [June] - Gruff Dodd - North Central USA - N & S Dakota and Minnesotahttp://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/usa/dakota/report.htmThis trip was, I believe, fairly unique in that it was organised entirely through EBN, and the three participants were complete strangers until the start of the trip. Back in January 1999 GD placed an advert on EBN asking if anyone fancied a trip to the USA, sharing costs, and after a few replies PC and JB were eventually confirmed as co-tourists. In the event the trip was extremely successful, with all of us getting along well, despite many late nights, early mornings, and long days in the field and on the road. 1999 [September] - Mary Beth Stowehttp://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/maybank/USA/Multi/US-multi-1999.htmBoy, what a change! The weather today was absolutely gorgeous for a trip to Kelly`s Slough NWR in North Dakota and environs! This refuge is mentioned in the big flyer they put out, but were it not for the directions in the ABA Guide to North American Birding Trips... 2003 [July]http://www.club300.se/Files/TravelReports/NorthwesternUSA2003_SH.pdf2004 [July] - Jan Hein van Steenishttp://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/usa/minnes1/min-jul-04.htmTrip reports for this part of the USA are very rare, but the ones I found were helpful. The lack of reports is curious – maybe American birders are not all that interested in those Minnesota warblers and Dakota sparrows they can see on migration? For Europeans tied to the summer holiday period, it surely is an excellent destination – after you learnt how to deal with those mosquitoes...

Breeding Birds of North Dakotahttp://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/birds/bbofnd/index.htmIn this age of rapid changes in land use, this sound documentation of our present wildlife resources carries special significance; it lays a firm foundation for the future monitoring of changes in bird populations. Even in the wide open spaces of North Dakota, man is becoming aware that he lives in a finite world. Dakota Birdinghttp://www.dakotabirding.com/Jean Legge - Guide - Experience North Dakota birding! Neotropical migratory birds (lots of sparrows including Baird`s and LeConte`s); waterfowl, hawks, burrowing owls, Sprague`s pipits, gray partridge, and more are found here... Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Centerhttp://www.npwrc.usgs.govSince 1965, migratory birds have been a major focus of the research program at Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (NPWRC). Studies have emphasized waterbirds, including waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans) and cranes and their habitats. More recently, studies have been added that consider population and community issues of nongame upland species, including passerines and shorebirds. This fact sheet summarizes current work with migratory birds and their habitats and provides a review of past studies that continue to be used to improve management and sustainability of populations. |
