Waterfowl numbers continue to drop at the transient
lakes in Warren County with Blue-winged Teal being the
most prominent species. Aside from snipe, shorebird
numbers are still low. The only additional shorebird
species seen today was a Solitary Sandpiper. A
Lapland Longspur was present this afternoon.
I've suspected that Bald Eagles were nesting near
Guthrie Swamp in Todd County for a few years given the
out-of-season sightings of adults there. Today I
found a nest in a woodlot approximately 3/4 mile from
the water. Both birds were present in the area with
one appearing to be incubating or brooding.
I found a very large nest in a tree line close to the
swamp this past winter and wondered if it was an
eagle's. Steve Kistler and I saw two fuzzy heads
peaking out of it last week but distance prevented
IDing them. Today I saw a Great Horned Owl on that
nest.
