Sloughs Wildlife Management Area Important Bird Area is composed of 10,000 acres in separate satellite units that were originally a wetland and hardwood bottoms along the Ohio River. Most of the land that today makes up Sloughs WMA was converted for agricultural use and has been returned, as nearly as possible, to its original condition. Wells with powerful pumps are used to flood hundreds of acres creating reliable shallow water habitats for waterfowl. Cover and food crops are planted for birds as well. Sloughs WMA is the winter home for approximately 15,000 geese and 20,000 ducks. It is the site of one of the most prolific Bald Eagle nests east of the Mississippi River.
