The Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, located along the migratory bird route known as the Central Flyway, provides a valuable wetland habitat for migrating birds.
The 22,135-acre refuge seasonally hosts more than 500,000 ducks and geese and more than 100,000 sandhill cranes. The endangered whooping crane is also often seen on the refuge.
Fall and winter bald eagles arrive from the north. Shorebirds pass through the refuge in fall and spring. Mammals at the refuge include deer, badgers, coyotes, raccoons and minks.
Walking trails include a 900-foot wheelchair- accessible trail and a 1.2-mile trail which is partly accessible. Quivira offers an auto tour route with 17 interpretive stops. Public uses also include hunting for waterfowl, pheasant and quail, and fishing.
