Monday Feb, 28, 2008 Sunday Feb 27, my wife Eula, daughter Kathy and I visited the Big Sandy National Wildlife Refuge from about eleven Am until about two thirty PM. At Britton Ford overlook we had about 100 Ruddy ducks and about 75 Canvasback ducks and one Great Blue Heron. At Rocky Point we had about twenty five Horned Grebes-many males were already in breeding colors, about twenty Bufflehead Ducks a few of these males also had breeding colors, a few Ring-billed Gulls and two Common Loons. At Pace Point we saw one Bald Eagle, one Winter Wren, one Fox Sparrow, twenty five Ringed-billed Gulls, tem Canada Geese, about fifteen Mallard Ducks, Ten Horned Grebes, a few Bufflehead Ducks, two Great Blue Herons, and two Common Loons-these may have bee the same two loons we saw from Rocky Point as they were over closer toParis Landing than they were tp Pace Point. Wind made the water somwhat choppy and cold but othewise a clear day.
