After turkeys were transplanted from Missouri and Texas, the land once again resounded with gobbles, bugles and bellows. This Refuge is an island where the natural carpet of grass escaped destruction because the rocks underfoot defeated the plow. The prairie community hums with life. The Refuge provides habitat for large native grazing animals and Texas Longhorn cattle. Enjoying Your Visit Bring your binoculars.
Most wildlife are wary of humans.
Binoculars, spotting scopes and telephoto camera lenses will help you get a close-up view without disturbing the animals. If you are too close, the animals will either flee or fight, neither of which is very helpful to viewing. Wildlife activity is best observed early in the morning or at dusk. Field guides will help with identification of wildlife and wildflowers. When hiking, take drinking water, compass and a companion.
