st. charles waterfowl observatory

There is a large covered, enclosed aviary in this park, where a visitor can see various local waterfowl. However, during winter months, I am not sure where the waterfowl are. I visited on a warm Spring weekday in early April, and found no birds. The village offices state the park (known locally as Waterfowl Park) is open year round. I take that meaning as having waterfowl available to be seen! The park itself isn't much-- one picnic table, one old bench set on the banks of the Bad River. Large shade trees. Parking on the side street. There is also a boat ramp into the river, off of a dirt parking lot, which is good sized.
