Saint Paul sits on the Mississippi across from its twin, and the river gorge running between the cities is wild enough to hold nesting bald eagles. Wild turkeys and white-tailed deer work the bluff parks, wood ducks and herons fill the backwaters, and the neighborhoods run to fox squirrels, cardinals, and cottontails. In winter the open water below the locks draws eagles and rafts of goldeneyes.
