 | | Old Crow Flats, located 73 km north of the Arctic Circle and 110 km south of the Beaufort Sea, represents one of the Yukon's most valuable wetlands and provides breeding habitat for several aquatic mammals, peregrine falcons, and a variety of waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds. |
 | | Old Crow residents seem to feel that lake levels have been dropping, and are concerned that the Flats are "drying up" from the warmer temperatures and earlier springs of recent years. |
 | | The Old Crow River basin, located north of the community of Old Crow, is the largest, covering 550,000 ha, 26 percent of which is wetland (open water, emergent vegetation, or floating mats). |
