In recent years, numerous threats have resulted in the decline of many of Nebraska’s bird species. Spring Creek Prairie is one of Audubon’s Important Bird Areas in Nebraska, joining 25 other sites in the state that provide critical wildlife habitat for birds during breeding, migration, or for wintering. Like Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary on the Platte River, Spring Creek Prairie offers sanctuary to a large number of birds.
