An outstanding bird-watching site where 20,000 sandhill cranes winter each year, along with numerous other avian species and wildlife. The best time to see the cranes is from December until February in the early morning and afternoon, although other wildlife can be seen here year-round.

A massive flock of Sandhill Cranes roosts here during the winter months. In the wee hours of the morning, thousands set flight all at once. It was a must-see event. I did a little research and found out the wildlife refuge allowed limited overnight dry camping right in the parking lot!
