Look closely at the photo of Eric in the article, and you'll see he's holding a woodpecker.

dam Bradley is like a whole bunch of other young volunteers in La Crosse. He has spent many of his late nights and early mornings patrolling the banks of the Mississippi River between the bars and the thin ice that has somehow drawn surprising numbers of young, intoxicated men over the years.

In 2011 alone, "1,297 people were turned away from (Riverside) Park between 11 (p.m.) and 3 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights," said Adam, a University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student who is the director of Operation: River Watch, a program set up in response to a spate of late-night drownings. "We're not saying that they were all intoxicated or at risk," but some were.

As were many who, through the years, died.

Nine young men died in the river between 1997 and 2010. Now there are two more who've met the same fate elsewhere in Wisconsin. Michael Philbin, son of the former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, drowned in the Fox River near the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh early on a Sunday morning in January. He had a blood-alcohol level of .176 and was smoking pot before he died, according to toxicology tests. Eric Duffey drowned in the Wisconsin River early on the morning on March 3, a Saturday, after leaving a bar frequented by University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students. Both were only 21.
