Spring Run Wetlands Complex has been named one of DNR's new Bird Conservation Areas, for its significant contribution to large-scale habitat protection for declining bird species. Its classic prairie-pothole landscape offers nesting habitat for countless waterfowl, cryptic marsh birds, grassland raptors and neotropical migrant songbirds.
