From Nov through January, nearly of Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area is unopen to the populace for duck hunting season. Only the northernmost department of this fabulous refuge is accessible; nevertheless, birders may soundless run across a skillful multifariousness of species.
On this cold, snowy morning, I ventured downwardly to that floodplain save in addition to was rewarded amongst a span novel sightings for the season: 14 trumpeter swans in addition to at to the lowest degree 50 snowfall geese. Raptors were express to a Cooper's hawk in addition to a red-tailed hawk in addition to a host of other sightings brought the species total to sixteen, rather meager for this well-known birding mecca. The conditions in addition to my express fourth dimension frame were pregnant factors in addition to I'm certain my species listing would accept doubled if I had to a greater extent than or less other hr to explore the accessible region.
Except for a two-hour window inward mid afternoon, birders must aspect until Feb to to a greater extent than fully explore Eagle Bluffs 1 time again. While I accept no personal objection to duck hunting (assuming the centre is consumed), I accept long wondered whether hunting in addition to birding could non safely coexist across this large refuge (e.g. past times narrowing the hunting zones and/or reducing the hunting hours).
