Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge, Middle River, MN

Load your family in the car and head to Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge to experience the sights and sounds of spring that nature has to offer. Observe up to 17 species of ducks that breed on the Refuge, take a close look at a bald eagle nest from the Parker Pool observation deck, or listen for the "winnowing" of Wilson’s snipe as they descend from the sky in courtship display. Visitors can also expect to hear the excited calls of the Franklin’s gulls from their large nesting colony in Agassiz Pool or as small groups sail overhead on foraging flights, as well as the familiar honks of Canada geese, and various melodies coming from upland habitats as migrating songbirds arrive at the Refuge. While a smorgasbord of birds is a given, lucky Refuge visitors get a glimpse of moose, bear, or wolves. There is never a dull moment in nature. …
