Wildlife at Duck Creek Conservation Area in Bollinger County, Missouri

Duck Creek Conservation Area is located nine miles north of Puxico on Highway 51 in Stoddard, Bollinger and Wayne counties.  The 6,318-acre area has a wide variety of habitat types that support a diversity of plant and animal species, some of which are unique to Missouri.  During the winter Duck Creek Conservation Area is a great place to enjoy unique wildlife and take beautiful photos.

A Muskrat....I have never seen one before!  Amazing Fellow!

He went for a Swim....brrrrr

I think I annoyed him.  :-(

An Otter, I have only seen an Otter in captivity

They call these River Otters, they are common in Missouri, but hard to spot.


He was enjoying some Lunch :-)

 I was so excited that I nearly wet my pants...LOL

He was a happy little fellow!



I liked this Duck, he was cool! 

They are amazing to watch in take off!

A Beaver, I was soooo excited!  I have never seen one this close.

I have only seen their crafty often annoying work!

  1. Becky, I am sick and don't get to go many places or get out very much anymore, so I thoroughly enjoyed your pic's and your enthusiasm (I was thrilled too! I've never seen some of those critters before either!) Thank you so much for sharing! May God bless you now and forever! Especially for giving him credit due! :-)
