Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge

Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge
Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge spans northern New Hampshire and Maine, At the southern range of the boreal forests and the northern range of the deciduous forests, the Umbagog area is a transition zone providing homes to species of both habitats.  A total of 229 bird species have been observed on the refuge, and 137 species are known to breed there.  The many fish in the lakes and rivers provide food for osprey and bald eagles.  “Mink, otter, muskrat, and beaver can be seen in the lakes and rivers while black bear, bobcats, fishers, marten, white-tailed deer and a dense population of moose inhabit the uplands. The extensive wetlands and marshes provide ideal habitat for waterfowl, such as common mergansers, American black ducks and common goldeneye and common loons.”
