Location: Sloughs WMA - Pond Creek Marsh, Shorebird Unit, Hardy
Slough
Observation date: 10/25/09
Swaths of corn have been harvested north of Wood Tract, but no water
is yet being pumped.
Water continues into Wood Tract south.
One large mixed flock of Red-winged Blackbirds, Starlings and Brown-
headed cowbirds.
The Tree Swallows were about 50 feet up over Muddy Slough and the
Shorebird Unit. I never saw them down near the water as is typical.
First Indigo Buntings at the Sloughs in quite a while.
The Canada Geese continue their presence, but are never seen on the
ground or swimming in the water. I see them overhead and apparently
they are putting down at the north end of Pond Creek Marsh out of sight.
