Birders may find large flocks of wintering ducks using the sloughs and sheltered bays. In winter, Trumpeter and Tundra Swans and large numbers of Snow Geese forage along the shoreline and in the fields. Short-eared Owls are regularly seen. The hedgerows and fields provide wintering habitat for sparrows. It is an excellent place to find unusual sparrows such as Harris's, American Tree, White-throated, Vesper, and Clay-colored. Western sandpipers, dunlins and dowitchers swoop over the mudflats. Wrangel Island snow geese gather by the thousands in tidal marshes and on nearby farm fields. And hundreds of raptors, from peregrine falcons to short-eared owls, are attracted to the area.
