It is characterized by a gently rolling topography with many flat basins vegetated by wiregrass sedges. Native and restored pine barrens, grasslands, and flowages also are present.<\/p>\n<h3>Ornithological Importance<\/h3>\n<p>The site provides habitat for breeding trumpeter swans, yellow rails, northern harriers, sharp-tailed grouse, upland sandpipers, sedge wrens, Le Conte\u2019s sparrows, and Nelson\u2019s sharp-tailed sparrows, among others. Thousands of sandhill cranes congregate here in the fall, and thousands of shorebirds use the flowages during drawdowns. This site, along with the larger Crex Meadows Wildlife Area to the northeast, provides one of the best opportunities in Wisconsin for landscape-level barrens and sedge meadow habitat management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-389-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-389-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<div id=\"attachment_391\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-391\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-391\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Fish-Lake-SWA-Paulios-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fish Lake Wetlands &amp; Barrens, photo by Andy Paulios\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Fish-Lake-SWA-Paulios-1.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.wisconsinbirds.org\/iba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Fish-Lake-SWA-Paulios-1-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-391\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fish Lake Wetlands &amp; Barrens, photo by Andy Paulios<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Site Description This 14,000 acre property is the second-largest in the Glacial Lake Grantsburg Wildlife Management Complex.
