Description
Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1935 as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. Our 3,400 acres of wetland habitat often finds itself so full of migrating waterfowl you can hardly see the water. Waterfowl counts are taken once a week during the peak of migration and posted here for all of our refuge birders.
The refuge was officially named one of America's top 500 Globally Important Bird Areas by the American Bird Conservancy in 2001. The Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network designated Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge a Site of Regional Importance in 2007.

Amazing capture. Two birds captured beautifully in the foreground as others take flight. The color of the water is lovely. l/f
