ackground-color: #ffffff;color: black;}This is a bit late. Sorry for the de=
lay. On Friday I had the chance to stop by Devil's Lake State Park in Barab=
oo and had some very interesting observations. Even got a few photos
Wood Ducks
Mallards (3.1)
Canada Goose
Common Merganser
Belted= Kingfisher
GB Herons nesting, one sitting as if incubating
Bonaparte= 's Gull
Ring-billed Gull
Yellowlegs (pretty sure it is greater due to= the upcurvature of the beak)
see flickr photo.
Cooper's hawk
Turkey = vultures (lots)
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Yellow-shafted flickerPileated Woodpecker
RW Blackbirds
Eastern Phoebe
American CrowDark-eyed junco
BC Chickadee
WB Nuthatch
RB Nuthatch
Song Spa= rrow
Chipping Sparrow
Starlings
Blue Jay
Cardinal
Most i= nteresting observation was of the Bonaparte's gulls which were
feeding on n= ymphs. On the south shore observed a flock swimming in very
shallow water. = Looked like they were stirring up the bottom with their
feet. Then suddenly= one (or more) would fly up and dive head first into the
water. Visual conf= irmation that they were feeding on nymphs and not FISH.
Looked like d= ragonfly nymphs. A couple of Ringbilled gulls started doing
the same thing.= Also observed a yellowlegs feeding on the nymphs too,
wading along t= he shoreline.
You can see a few images from the day on my flic= kr account.
