Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Cheyenne Bottoms / Quivira National Wildlife Refuge
38.25 N   98.37 W
These two areas, east of Great Bend, are among the most important inland staging sites for migrating shorebirds in the western hemisphere. About 45% of all shorebirds stop here on their way north including White-rumped, Baird's and Stilt Sandpipers.

Cimarron National Grassland
37.25 N   101.82 W
Prairie, sagebrush and riparian habitat make for great birding in this grassy sea. Lesser Prairie-Chicken perform at their leks during courtship season. Look for Burrowing Owls at the Prairie Dog towns.

Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge
38.40 N   95.84 W
This refuge is located along both sides of the Neosho river. Come to see the migrating waterfowl in March and November. Bird along the gravel roads and Burgess Marsh Trail. In spring look for Upland Sandpiper and Wilson's Phalarope.

Weston Bend Bottoms
39.61 N    95.04 W
The Missouri River lowlands is a bird magnet during migration. Nesting birds include Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Scarlet Tanager and Northern Parula.
