Ebird hotspot https://ebird.org/hotspot/L2855518
Habitat: Bottomland Hardwoods, Southern Hardwood Forest, Non-native Grassland, and Successional Oldfield.
Best birds: A reliable spot for Prothonotary Warbler, either along the boardwalk or near the canoe launch. Harnischfeger Park has a good trail system, walking along the river and forest can produce Bald Eagle, woodpeckers, and flycatchers. Good for Rusty Blackbird in the spring. Paddling the Rock River is a great way to add species. Both upstream to Elmwood road and downstream to Kanow Park.
Directions : 34 miles NW of Milwaukee/Eight miles east of Watertown, along the Rock River. Use County Road O to access Crawfish Rd.
Site Address & Additional information:
3048 N. Crawfish Road, Ixonia, WI
