Two flocks of Snow Geese and lots of migrating Sandhill Cranes made for an
enjoyable day of birding. Eddie Huber and I birded some areas outside Otter
Creek Park in Meade County for the CBC. Had hard time locating sparrows and
raptors. There were other parties also birding on this CBC, this list is just
what we seen today.
