An Upland Polver takes a rest on a crossfence. This is just one of many native birds that helps make our prairie a Nebraska State Birding Site.

A beautiful butterfly milkweed blooms brightest in the middle of the summer, and helps to create the famous
colors of our mixed-grass loess prairie. Because it is a warm grass plant, you'll see it thriving in June.


Natural springs are full and even overflowing after the abundant rains of the 2007 summer.
