Henderson Co:
Next off to check out Horseshoe Road slough. Road there was pretty
bad, muddy, washboard, potholes.
Horseshoe Road slough was FULL. Mostly ice covered. At the far NE end
could see some Shovelers landing.
Sloughs WMA (Henderson Co.)
Next Crenshaw Tract. The slough was iced over. Could hear a couple of
Blue Jays and one Eastern Towhee.
Anderson Pond, a few areas clear of ice. One adult Bald Eagle in a
tree in the middle of Anderson Pond.
Wood Tract: Several thousand Snow Geese, I'm guessing 4000 at the
south end. Canadas: maybe 100.
Muddy Slough: 300 Canadas
Hardy Slough: 500 Canadas.
I didn't really see any Speckle-bellies although they might of been
there.
Very little flying around of the geese. Just a few Canadas here and
there.
Overall not a great day.

Henderson Co.
