Pelicans swing through Ottumwa a couple times a year. In the spring and at the end the summer they congregate in the lagoons in Ottumwa Park or along the river near the Beach Ottumwa and Southeast Iowa JBS Sports Complex.

Geese call Ottumwa home year round but in the spring, the next generation show up to pose for some cute pictures. Just don't get too close.

Every winter, bald eagles flock to Ottumwa in the dozens to hangout along the Des Moines river. The patio at Bridge View Center is the perfect spot to watch them.
