Animals
Sedge wren at Hopeton Earthworks.
An abundance of diverse wildlife use park grounds for nesting, breeding, raising their young, feeding, shelter, and as a stopover site while migrating to other destinations. Birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates can be found throughout the year in all types of habitat. There are no Federally-listed species known to utilize park land, but several state-listed species have been observed.
