Winneshiek Co. Birds & Where to Find Them

Coon Creek is mostly dense woods, but about 1/4th of the area is cropland or grasslands.

Coon Creek is found in far eastern Winneshiek County. There are over 1700 acres to explore here.

Coon Creek is maybe the best place to find ruffed grouse

Wild turkeys share woodland habitat with ruffed grouse.

Pileated woodpeckers are our largest forest woodpecker.
