Abstract

I like to park and walk long stretches of gravel roads along the edges of wet meadows and ponds, looking for migratory songbirds in the spring and fall, nesting waterfowl in the summer, and the northern birds that overwinter here. FROM THE EXPERTS HOTSPOTS NEAR YOU I dream of spending weeks combing every shoreline, wetland, prairie, and upland forest of the 240,000- acre Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, as well as nearby public lands. A Big Day with 100 species and thousands of birds is doable, especially if you pause at refuge access points between Green Island, the Palisades, and Lock and Dam 13. [Extracted from the article]
