With all the rain recently many of the fields here are filled with
water, so I decided to concentrate on these areas today, mainly in the
central and eastern sections. Also checked the main impoundments.
Waterfowl were common:61 Wood Ducks, 12 Gadwall, 49 Am. Wigeon, 2
Am. Black Ducks, 30 Mallards, 14 Northern Pintail, 85 Green-winged Teal, 84
Ring-necked Ducks, and 2 Hooded Mergansers.
Other birds of note were 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks, my first singing
Field Sparrow of the year, and 8 Rusty Blackbirds. Unlike most times I see
them here the rusties were with Red-winged Blackbirds.
