This gem of a location is tucked into a southeastern corner of Moraine State Park’s Lake Arthur. It a wonderful place to visit anytime, but especially during fall and mid-late winter/ early spring waterfowl migration. Bonus: leave the shelter and scout the surrounding roadside and woods for spring and summer birds in warmer months!

Expect to see:
Where to start! Dabbling and diving ducks of all sort visit during migration, including blue-winged teal, northern shovelers, wood ducks, hooded, common and red-breasted mergansers and a lot more. Migration also brings tundra swans. Expect to see belted kingfishers, great blue and green herons and bald eagles all year long, too.
