First time to post to the list, but wanted to say thank you to all. I have
been reading the list over the winter and enjoying the reports very much. I
took advice from here (and Brainard's directions) and made it to see the
sandhills on Sunday. What an incredible, indescribable experience.
On the way up, we ran by Starve Hollow Lake, hoping for one more siting of the
bald eagles, but alas, we did not spot any. A group of bird watchers and
photographers there before us did report seeing a juvenile. Plenty of canada
geese, gulls and a great blue heron. Off of 135, right before turning onto 235
towards Medora, we saw a small flock of 30-40 sandhills.
We continued on to Ewing Bottoms, and spent the afternoon watching the
multitudes of sandhills. They were on both sides of CR 100N and CR 300W.
Anyone interested, I am an amatuer photographer, and took hundreds of photos.
I posted a few to a gallery, if you would like to look. I imagine you will
have to cut and paste the link. Again, thanks everyone for taking the time to
record your sitings here.
