点评：this 15,000-acre expanse of shortgrass prairie, wetlands, and woodlandsis home to more than 330 species of native wildlife, thriving across expansive prairie grasslands and serene lake habitats. A highlight of the sanctuary is its wild bison herd. Raptors & Birds: The refuge remains a vital wintering and nesting site for bald eagles, golden eagles, hawks, owls, and migratory waterfowl around its lakes: we saw two hawks eating a prey. We saw MANY prairie dogs, it was cute to watch one of them guarding their network of caves. More about prairie dogs: prairie dog is a burrowing, herbivorous rodent native to North American grasslands that lives in large, social underground colonies called towns. Yes, prairie dogs literally are squirrels. They belong to the squirrel family (Sciuridae) and are classified as large, burrowing ground squirrels.To protect these networks, guards known as sentinels stand upright on raised dirt mounds near burrow entrances to constantly watch for aerial and ground predators. When danger approaches, sentinels sound specialized alarm barks that signal the colony to retreat safely into their underground chambers. You can also do the two hiking trails, lake Mary and Lake Ladora. Best part is this refuge with its wildlife trail is free to enter.

翻译：这片占地15,000英亩的区域由短草草原、湿地和林地组成，是330多种本土野生动物的家园，它们在广阔的草原与宁静的湖泊环境中繁衍生息。保护区的一大亮点便是那里的野生野牛群。猛禽与鸟类：这片保护区也是秃鹰、金雕、鹰类、猫头鹰以及各种候鸟重要的越冬与繁殖地；我们在湖边看到两只鹰正在捕食猎物。此外，我们还看到了许多土拨鼠。看着其中一只草原犬鼠守护着它们的洞穴网络，真是有趣极了。关于草原犬鼠的更多信息：草原犬鼠是一种食草性啮齿动物，擅长挖洞，原产于北美的草原地带。它们以“城镇”为名群居生活，形成规模庞大的地下社群。没错，草原犬鼠本质上就是松鼠的一种。它们属于松鼠科（Sciuridae），被归类为体型较大、善于挖洞的地栖松鼠。为了保护这些洞穴网络，……被称为“哨兵”的守卫们笔直地站在洞穴入口附近的土堆上，时刻警惕着空中和地面的捕食者。一旦有危险临近，这些哨兵便会发出特定的警报叫声，示意整个群体安全退回地下的巢穴中。您还可以沿着玛丽湖和拉多拉湖两条徒步路线游览。最棒的是，这个设有野生动物观赏步道的保护区完全免费开放。
