Rochester Neighborhood - Upper Mississippi by the Great River Road

Migrating swans, the early arrivals. This stretch of Upper Mississippi is teeming with wildlife. With the approach of November, we are nearing the arrival of one of the largest concentrations of tundra swans in the country. They will stop by here to rest and feed on the shallow water aquatic plants before heading south.

White pelicans line up along the sand banks on eastern Wisconsin side of Mississippi, a favorite migrating stop for swans, geese, and other species beside pelicans.
