Good evening everyone,
I got out to Finley NWR for a hike and healthy dose of vitamin D from the
sun this afternoon. McFadden Marsh had a variety of waterfowl species
including: CINNAMON TEAL, NORTHERN PINTAIL, NORTHERN SHOVELER, GREEN-WINGED
TEAL, MALLARD, AMERICAN WIGEON, CANADA GOOSE and GREATER WHITE-FRONTED
GOOSE. PIED-BILLED GREBES and GREATER YELLOWLEGS were both calling from
quite a few spots around the edge of the marsh.
I also had two ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS singing. One along the road near
the office and another in the oaks on top of Pigeon Butte. A final good
bird from today was a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK that strafed my vehicle on its way
into a patch of blackberry near the west entrance to Bruce Road off of
Bellfountain.
One more day of warm weather tomorrow before we get back into a wet pattern
on the west side, get out and enjoy it if you can!
Cheers,
Ben
