Hagerman NWR is a "migration station"!  Many birds pass through the Refuge on their semi- annual journey along the Central Flyway of the U. S.; for others Hagerman NWR is their migration destination, whether to spend the winter or for nesting during warm weather months.  This video from Cornell Lab of Ornitoholgy tells the migration story.
