Greene County: Wal-Mart Distribution Center (WMDC), Joachim Bible Refuge unit 
of Lick Creek Bottoms Wildlife Management Area (JBR), etc. 

Recent rains brought some excellent birding opportunities to the county, which 
I was unable to pursue until this morning. Brief stops at WMDC, JBR, Bridge 
Burners Boulevard, Murray Bridge Road, and miscellaneous other sites, including 
many flooded areas, produced the following: 

Tundra Swan (still present at WMDC; first observed on January 1) 
Gadwall (22) 
American Wigeon (8, mostly on Murray Bridge Rd.) 
American Black Duck (5, Bridge Burners Blvd.) 
American Black Duck / Mallard hybrid (Bridge Burners Blvd.) 
Blue-winged Teal (2, Bridge Burners Blvd.) 
Northern Shoveler (43, at several sites) 
Redhead (4, Bridge Burners Blvd.) 
Ring-necked Duck (13) 
Bufflehead (JBR) 
Ruddy Duck (2, WMDC) 
Northern Harrier (4) 
Rough-legged Hawk (light-morph, JBR; probably the bird seen there by Ben 
Britton on February 16) 
American Coot (16) 
Lesser Yellowlegs (6, Murray Bridge Rd.) 
Wilson's Snipe (WMDC) 
Eurasian Collared-Dove (Mosheim) 
Barn Owl (JBR) 
Loggerhead Shrike (WMDC) 
Horned Lark (2, Baughard Hill Rd., Jim Kirk Rd.) 
Tree Swallow (7) 
Marsh Wren (WMDC)
