Chain Lakes provides important winter habitat for pronghorn and, thanks to these surveys, we now know it’s also an important resting area for migrating waterfowl and shorebirds as they pass through the sagebrush sea. So far, 102 species have been detected with 72 of those being birds. This rivals many other birding hotspots in the state!
