Big story of the day is that the lake has continued to go down and they have
now opened up Wildlife Drive. Sure was great getting to drive that road and
not have to go around to get to Meadow Pond. Bennett Road to the west side of
the refuge is still closed, as is the low water crossing north of headquarters.
I expect both of those roads to be open before the end of the week. We had a
good morning of birding getting a total of 81 species. One of the best finds
of the day was a Hairy Woodpecker on the road to Meadow Pond. We also saw a
flock of 30 Wild Turkeys on Meadow Pond Rd. The Mature Bald Eagle was in its
usual tree at Big Mineral. On Bennett at the southeast corner of the refuge we
saw a mature male Northern Harrier ( the gray ghost) always an exciting bird to
see. There was a flock of 750 White Geese in the field across from MSU #7,
containing a lot of Blue Phase Snow Geese.
Most duck species were seen were in smaller numbers, but we did see 1275
Northern Pintails. We found 2 Red-headed Woodpeckers and a Belted Kingfisher at
Dead Woman Pond. Lots of Pine Siskins, American Goldfinches and a couple of
female Purple Finches near headquarters. Harris's Sparrows continue being
abundant.
