North Lake Co Hwy 157 Federal Refuge Miss. River On my way to the Federal Refuge yesterday, I stopped at Buckalew Slough (Near Fish gap hill) and found 11 Snipe, 2 Lessor Yellowlegs and 2 Least S. P. and Killdeer. I lead a bird walk on the Habitat trail at the refuge. I heard my first of season White Throated Sparrow, also had Gray Catbird, Rosebreasted Grosbeaks, Kingfisher on the pond, No ducks, Tufted Titmouse, Chickadee, Cardinals, Brown Thrashers, Hairy Woodpecker, Redbellied W.P. Yellowrumped Warblers, Gold finch, Yellowshafted Flickers, Bluejays and Bluebirds, Phoebe... . The field to the right of the trail looks great for wintering sparrows. They have developed this area into a great little birding spot. Later at the River I found lots of swallows and 13 Ringbilled Gulls on the sandbar.
