Area Birders,
5 members of The Buchanan County Bird Club went on a birding outing Saturday,
Dec 3 to Musick's Campground and Osceola Island. At Musick's we found Horned
Grebes, Pied-billed Grebes, Ring-necked Ducks, Scaup, Bonaparte's Gulls,
Ring-billed Gull, and American Coots.
The group then traveled to the 421 bridge where we saw American Kestrels and
Great Blue Herons. Then it was on to the Weir Dam at Osceola Island, where
American Wigeon, Ring-necked Ducks, Buffleheads, Green-winged Teal and American
Coots were busy feeding and chasing each other, especially the Buffleheads. Too
bad the Pacific Loon wasn't present then.
After birding, the group stopped by Shelly's Chicken House where everyone
enjoyed a great meal.
Those present on the outing were Ed and Michelle Talbott, Roger and Lynda
Mayhorn and Marie Miller. Ed Talbott has posted some people pictures of the
outing on his web site at
