Description

The D.R. Wintermann Wildlife Management Area has 246 acres and is located in Wharton County. A former rice farm, a section of the WMA was used to develop a wetlands area with water from the Colorado River. The land is flat coastal prairie and is used as a laboratory for students and land owners to observe wetlands management. This environment attracts winter migratory waterfowl including bald eagles, sandhill cranes, a variety of geese, teal, doves, ducks, and a variety of ibis, Neotropical migrants and many other birds. Groups should contact the manager for information.
