Kern National Wildlife Refuge is a 11,249-acre (45.52 km2) protected area located in the southern portion ofCalifornia'sSan Joaquin Valley, 20 miles (32 km) west of the city ofDelano. Situated on the southern margin of what was once the largest freshwater wetland complex known asTulare Lake in the western United States, Kern National Wildlife Refuge provides an optimum wintering habitat for migratory birds with an emphasis onwaterfowl and water birds. The wetlands provide habitat for birds as part of thePacific Flyway.[2]
