More pictures of the Mississippi River as we traveled along Route 35. Large
expanses of wetlands on the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish
Refuge provide food and resting areas for up to 500,000 canvasback ducks and
many other waterfowl species during spring and fall migration.
The refuge and surrounding public lands in the site support more than 200
nesting pairs of bald eagles, 120 species of fish, 42 species of mussels.the site
also serves as a major navigation highway for commerce and provides millions
of citizens with abundant hunting, fishing and other recreational opportunities.
