Lake...one of the best birding spots in Missouri.
The Lake of the Ozarks, although man-made, functions as a
natural water environment that is a feeding and resting

spectacular variety of birds. Species that are a
familiar sight on the Lake (and in the area), include the
great blue heron, hawks and ducks of many
varieties, wild turkey, pectoral sandpipers, cliff
swallows, terns, American goldfinches, ruby-throated
hummingbirds, robins, bobwhites, whippoorwills, cardinals,
blue jays, wood thrushes, eastern meadowlarks, phoebes,
belted kingfishers, pileated woodpeckers, and the
"leftovers" king of the sky, the turkey vulture. |

Bald
Eagles arrive in October and are here until around mid
or late March. Excellent areas for viewing are just
about anywhere that's outside - sometimes even driving down
the road or around your campsite. Common
to "our" woods are such wildlife as deer, raccoon,
opossum, red fox, and grey squirrels. Look
for the many variety of birds in our campground. Such
birds spotted are, white breasted nuthatch, tufted
titmouse, black-capped chickadee, blue jay, cardinal,
woodpecker, robins, dark-eyed junco, ruby-throated
hummingbirds, house finch, mocking bird, hawks, and of
course turkey buzzards. |
