    Tri-State Area Birding Guide 2016-2017 Birds For All Seasons Spring April and May are some of the best times to see songbird mi- gration. Stopping at a boat landing and taking time to scan the treetops can reward a visitor with many species of Warblers. Fol- lowing the Great River Road on both sides of the river, you will discover one of the many walking trails or decks with spotting scopes to help you view wildlife, but it is always best to bring your own binoculars. Summer In the oodplain forest great Blue Herons, Great Egrets and Double-Crested Cormorants nest in rookeries. Look for groups of American White Pelicans feeding in formation or soaring over the refuge. The Sora Rail, the laughter of the marsh, is the most common marsh bird. Seldom seen, but often heard, in the early morning or late evening. Eleven species of frogs and toads sing, chirp, and croak from April to August. Listen for them in the eve- nings at the marsh. Fall Fall colors are the backdrop Spring for thousands of waterfowl migrating back to their win- tering grounds. Migrating Tundra Swans grace the ref- uge of the Upper Mississippi y way through freeze-up. During peak fall migration in Summer late October, watch for hun- dreds of thousands of Can- vasbacks, Common Mergan- sers, Goldeneyes, Mallards, Shovelers, Blue-Winged Teal, and Coots. Winter Tracks in snow remind you Fall that winter is alive with ac- tivity. A track made by otter sliding on the ice or a deer path across the ice are often discovered on a winter out- ing.

Graduate students from the University of Iowa’s School of Urban and Regional Planning, in partnership with the City of Dubuque, are seeking public opinion on preferred uses for the South Port. The survey will be open until Feb. 4, 2013. Results will be shared at a public event this spring. The South Port consists of 33 acres of vacant and industrial waterfront property south of the Ice Harbor and adjacent to Dubuque’s downtown. It includes the property between the Mississippi River and the railroad tracks on both the north and south sides of U.S. Highway 20 and the Julien Dubuque Bridge. The 2002 Port of Dubuque Master Plan outlined a multi-phased redevelopment plan for the entire Port of Dubuque. Redevelopment of the South Port represents the final two phases of that plan and continues the major riverfront revitalization effort at the Port of Dubuque by reclaiming underutilized and brownfield property on the South Port for mixed-use development while balancing creative vision and market demand.
