The Missouri Department of Conservation encourages you to discover nature and learn more about the millions of migratory waterfowl that pass through Missouri.
Each fall, snow geese, blue-winged teal, mallards and a host of other waterfowl and shorebirds leave their nesting grounds in Canada and head south for warmer weather.
Missouri’s wetlands serve as a stop-off point during this journey.
They are managed to provide the necessary habitat waterfowl need to survive and reproduce.
Missouri’s wetlands provide the vital role in providing a resting area for waterfowl and an opportunity for them to replenish their reserves.
Ducks will usually stay in one of our conservation areas for 7 to 10 days, restoring their reserves, resting and feeding,
Once rested, the waterfowl will continue their journey further south to wintering grounds along the gulf coast.
In the spring, waterfowl return as they make their way to their breeding grounds in the north.
Again, Missouri’s wetlands will provide the needed food and resting area.
The conservation department manages several public wetlands throughout the state and all provide excellent waterfowl viewing and hunting opportunities.
