Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Iroquois National Wildlife Refuges is a conservation area operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in Genesee and Orleans Counties in the western part of New York. The refuge was created in 1958 as the Oak Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, but the name was soon changed to the current name because the State of New York maintains the similarly named Oak Orchard State Wildlife Management Area adjacent to the federal refuge. The refuge is between the cities of Buffalo and Rochester. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Iroquois_National_Wildlife_Refuge

Alabama Swamp Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1958 by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The Wildlife Management Areas were acquired, developed and maintained by funds from the sale of hunting licenses and the excise tax of guns and ammunition. To the north of the refuge along NY Route 77 is Fletcher Chapel Road. home.eznet.net /~kfox/wny/sites/inwr.htm

Bird Checklists of the United States The Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge, in Genesee and Orleans counties, New York, was established in 1958 to provide nesting, resting and feeding grounds for ducks, geese and other water-loving birds. Iroquois is one of more than 500 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Wildlife Refuge System is a network of lands and waters managed specifically for the protection of wildlife and wildlife habitat and represents the most comprehensive wildlife resource management program in the world. www.npwrc.usgs.gov /resource/othrdata/chekbird/r5/iroquois.htm

Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge The refuge was renamed Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in 1964 to avoid confusion with the neighboring Oak Orchard State Wildlife Management Area. Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge lies midway between Buffalo and Rochester, NY, within the Atlantic Flyway. The refuge is located within the historic Oak Orchard Swamp, locally known as "the Alabama Swamp." The Seneca Indians, one of the six tribes of the Iroquois Nation and the aboriginal inhabitants of this area, were the first to clear garden plots within the oak forests near their villages. www.fws.gov /refuges/profiles/index.cfm?id=52540

Bald Eagles at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge Wildlife experts believe there may have been 25,000 to as many as 75,000 nesting bald eagles in the lower 48 states when the bird was adopted as our national symbol in 1782. The nest on Iroquois Refuge is situated 65 feet above the ground and measures approximately 5 1/2 feet across and approximately 5 feet from the rim to the base. While our national symbol was in danger of extinction throughout most of its range 25 years ago, the bald eagle has made a tremendous comeback, its populations greatly improving in numbers, productivity, and security in recent years. iroquoisnwr.fws.gov /BaldEagles.html

GORP - Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge, New York Iroquois NWR is the namesake refuge of the Iroquois Indians, a confederacy of six nations that grew in the 1600s from its New York State origins to a territory that spread westward to the Illinois River and southward to the Tennessee River. The refuge was called Oak Orchard NWR when it was established in 1958, but it, too, was renamed to avoid confusion with the Oak Orchard Wildlife Management Area, one of two adjacent state-owned areas.
