There is excellent bird viewing at the ranch. 60 species can be seen in one day on this ranch.
Spring on the plains ushers in courtship rituals of the Lesser Prairie Chicken, wildflower riots, the return of nesting kites and migrant songbirds, cool evenings, pleasant days, and carpets of wildflowers.
Summer invites you to enjoy the brilliant Swallowtails, Sulphurs, and Fritillaries, as multicolored butterflies feast on the nectar of the Plains’ flowering plants. Darners, Pennants, and a variety of other dragonflies make summer a feast of color.
Fall brings Migrant Shorebirds, Raptors, Flycatchers, and Warblers through the Plains, and washes the riverbanks in brilliant autumn foliage.
Winter will entrance you with Rough-legged Hawks, Bald Eagles, Wintering Sparrows, and the clearest nights, beckoning you to turn your eyes toward the brilliant, starry skies.
