Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge - Willows, California
Bird Watching
Do some bird watching at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
More than 300 species of birds and mammals, both resident and migratory, use the Refuges. The marshes support fish, frogs, and invertebrates, which are used by grebes, white pelicans, egrets, herons, and bitterns as a food resource. Shorebirds probe the mud for insects, snails, and worms, while raptors prey on the abundant waterfowl, rodents, and small birds. Woodpeckers, marsh wrens, and finches are a few of the many songbirds which feed and nest in the Refuges’ cottonwoods, willows, and wetland plants.
Approximately 44% of the Pacific Flyway’s waterfowl population winters in the Sacramento Valley. Three million ducks and three-quarters of a million geese migrate here.
