Onon-Balj protects river floodplains, oxbows, meadow steppe and forest in northeastern Mongolia. The mixture of Daurian and boreal habitats supports cranes, waterbirds, forest species and mammals associated with well-watered valleys. River conditions and road access vary, particularly during wet periods. Birding is productive from open viewpoints that overlook marshes without entering them. Forest margins and willow-lined channels add variety, and dawn often brings the strongest activity and clearest soundscape.
