For untold years, the Big and Little Salt Marshes of Quivira National Wildlife Refuge have attracted thousands of migratory waterfowl, providing them with food, coverage, and a place to rest during their long flights between breeding and wintering areas.

Visitor's Center. Located in the Refuge Headquarters building, the center is filled with hands-on displays and interpretive exhibits. Just outside the center you can stroll the delightful Birdhouse Boulevard, which displays several birdhouses.
