Picnic Point was surprisingly active this morning given the strong
wind coming in off the lake. I had 31 species between 9:20 and 10:30.
A surprise was 18 Double-crested Cormorants in four separate flocks
fighting the wind while heading north low over the water. Duck
diversity and numbers are down, but the lake is 90% open. Yesterday I
was at the Union for the film festival and the lake looked like it was
about ready to break up. Today huge piles of ice were crushed against
the shore and Mendota was mostly open. A tiny bird flew across the
trail and into Biocore Prairie. Pishing could not coax it out but it
was probably a Yellow-rumped Warbler!
