At the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, curators sometimes have to perform crane mating dances to get the birds in the appropriate frame of mind.

 

Bagley Bottoms Boat Landing


Website dnr.wi.gov Details

This boat landing is typical of many that are found all along the Mississippi River. Often these small, secluded areas offer the birder a chance to get close to the river and explore the floodplain forests from a slightly elevated road. A short hiking trail leads to the backwaters of the Mississippi where there are numerous birds to be found on most days. Species such as Yellow-crowned Night Herons, Pileated Woodpeckers and American Egrets are seen in the area.
