Viewing Wildlife Info
The Sheyenne National Grassland boasts of its diverse bird populations. During the annual migration periods, swans, geese, ducks, and cranes pass through daily. Nearly 300 bird species have been seen on the Grassland. Some unique nesting species include pileated woodpecker, barred owl, whip-poor-will, yellow rail, and scarlet tanager.
The Grassland is home to the greater prairie chicken and sharp-tailed grouse. In early spring, both species can be viewed on their booming grounds. Check out the Bird Status and Distribution on the Sheyenne National Grassland (2010) publication.
Other common wildlife species include badgers, coyotes, wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, skunks, and, on rare occasions, moose, elk, and wolves.

Viewing Scenery Info
The Sheyenne National Grassland offers different scenery throughout the various landforms. The river bottom and valleys allow for spectacular sights along the Sheyenne River. Outreaching from the Sheyenne River are several small riparian areas that frequently support beaver activity. Iron Springs is the largest of these small streams, accessed via the North Country National Scenic Trail. The hummock and swale landform offers an ever-changing undulating prairie, while the deltaic plains have wide open, flat prairies. The scenic woodland savanna is located in the choppy sand dunes; in the fall, this area is an array of beautiful autumn colors.
