Description
Confluence Point State Park is located at the point where the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers merge. This 1,121-acre park on the river bottomland is part of the Mississippi Flyway, making it a great place to see waterfowl and raptors, especially during migration seasons. From the parking area a short trail leads up and along a levee through a patch of woodland and leads to a rocky point that angles right down into the water at the confluence. Birds you can spot include Horned Lark, Bald Eagle, American White Pelican, Black-capped Chickadee, Bank Swallow, Orchard Oriole, Blue Grosbeak and many species of herons, ducks, geese, gulls, terns, waders, woodpeckers, and warblers.
Also the entry drive through agricultural land, grassland and woodland can be interesting. Birds you can observe by making stops along the way include Dickcissel, Common Yellowthroat, Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark and several species of sparrows and birds of prey.
