Additional Description: The Republican River Adventure

The 608 acres of loess mixed grass prairie near Red Cloud, the Red River flood plain, and the Harlan County Reservoir provide rich and varied habitat to attract a notable diversity of bird live year-round. Greater Prairie Chickens, Grasshopper Sparrows, and Lark Sparrows can be found in upland prairie habitat. Large numbers of water birds, such as American White Pelicans, Common Mergansers, and several gull species stop over at Harlan County Reservoir. Woodland corridor habitat provides nesting habitat for Orioles, Wood-Pewees, Vireos, Grosbeaks and stop over habitat for migrating Warblers and Flycatchers.
