Tundra Swans are once again flowing south along the Mississippi River and can be seen by the hundreds from the Trempealeau Refuge area to south of Goose Island County Park (La Crosse, Wisconsin, Brownsville, Minnesota, to Stoddard, Wisconsin.) Be certain to keep your eyes open for ducks, pelicans, and occasionally, a pair of Trumpeter Swans.

Find much more detail about the Fall Migration and peak dates by typing “Tundra Swans” or “Trumpeter Swans” or “Pelicans” in the Search Box to the upper right of this Web Page!! You might also do a search of our EAGLE articles! We have been making notes about the spring and fall migration for nearly 20 years!

The Swans and Pelicans will be around until the bays and the main channel ice over. Then American Bald Eagles will begin gathering in quantities around any open water just below the Dams. It is a great time to meander along the river, view eagle nests, eagles, and our lovely little towns along the river. Bring your Binocs!
