The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge includes more than 200 miles of waterways and trails leading to fishing, canoeing, wildlife viewing, camping and hiking, and, of course, birdwatching. The Kenai refuge hosts nearly 70 documented birds that live in, nest in, migrate through, and fly over the area. With this guide birders have not only a checklist of what to look for, but detailed trail descriptions with access information, trail highlights and cautions, and where to look for birds. Trails from Skilak Lake and Swanson River roads as well as right off the Sterling Highway, lead to great opportunities to spot some of the refuge's many birds. The guide includes: 10 hiking trails, a bird list for each trail, a checklist of birds by month, a checklist of birds by habitat, and a map of the refuge.
