Description

Spend a day with expert birders on a birding adventure at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. You will soon learn and see why this area has been protected since 1928. It is considered one of the top ten birding spots in the nation and one of Utah’s premier birding hotspots. Its 78,000 acres provide a vast wetland habitat for a phenomenal number of migrants including waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors, White-faced Ibis, several species of blackbirds, gulls, terns, swallows, marsh wrens, and more. This is a great field trip for all levels of birders. 

*If there are many birds actively nesting on the road, access behind the gates will be limited. Mosquitos and brine flies will be out in May; hiking shoes, long-sleeves and long pants are recommended for walking on the refuge dike roads.
