The remnant of the rock jetty near the mouth of the Oconto River provides great loafing and preening habitat for birds such as the white pelican and gulls. High waters in recent years topped most of the jetty and washed away rock, leaving stepping stones where once a wider avenue provided a place for a picnic table and anglers.
Today, white pelicans, ring-billed gulls and herring gulls enjoy the comfort and safety of the rocky pier as they loaf in the warm afternoon sun, taking time to socialize and preen their feathers.
