Kingbird on Lupines photo by Vernna Burns
A great time to view wildflowers and wildlife!
The lupines are beginning to fade, but there is still much to see on the refuge. Look for large groups of Sandhill Cranes on the back half of the Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive as they dance (spread their wings and hop!) Many, may Hoary Puccoons (a vibrant yellow) are present and look for purple Spiderwort, pink Prairie Phlox and silvery White Sage. Watch out for Blandings Turtles as they cross the road this time of year.
