The forest type in these floodplain areas is uncommon in Vermont, found only around Lake Champlain. Whitetailed deer are common. A variety of migratory waterfowl - mallards, blacks, wood ducks, and more - nest in the wooded wetlands. Ruffed grouse and American woodcock find favorable conditions. Even fish - chain pickerel and northern pike - spawn and feed in the flooded areas. Map turtles, known to nest at only a few sites in Vermont, nest along the beach.
