Winter Waterfowl at Bohemia
Observing ducks on the water is a special treat for those who venture outdoors during the winter. The leaves are off the trees, visibility is great on sunny days, and groups of dabbling ducks can often be seen near the shore of Burkalow and Great Bohemia Creek. Check out the DNR Midwinter Waterfowl Survey, conducted annually since the early 1960s, for species lists and population numbers Baywide.
