Birding
Linton, ND is an excellent area for a birding adventure. Linton is located in the Central Migratory Flyway, only 13 miles east of the Missouri River as well as 30 miles south of Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge is listed among the top ten "HOT SPOTS" in North America for attracting so many varieties of interesting birds.
Long Lake is a natural lake of limited depth by reason of its location in a shallow alkaline basin. Grasslands adjoining water areas provide nesting sites for several species of puddle ducks, upland plovers, marbled godwits, willets and sharptailed grouse. Most of the 354 species that have been recorded in North Dakota can be seen here during some period of the year. Numerous species of prairie birds and migratory waterfowl make this area a special treat for birders. Known to the area are many species of birds such as the Whooping Crane, Piping Plover, Great Horned Owl, Western Grebe, Chestnut-collared Longspur, Baird's Sparrow, American White Pelican, Loggerhead Shrike, Black-capped Chickadee.
