Arrived before the full moon set at Buena Vista Grasslands, found 1
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK
on Farmer's Rd. that flew north to Swamp Road disturbing a N. SHRIKE, had 2
coyotes
nearby. Drove up Townline and back east on Lake Rd. where we had 6 Horned
Larks west
of King's farm, just northeast of there we found 2 PRAIRE CHICKENS up in a
small
tree trying to warm up in the rising sunlight. There were a few SNOW BUNTINGS
as we
met up with the WSO caravan of cars, hopefully they found the Prairie Chickens
as
they were close. We moved on to Sandhill WLA and Bear Bluff which was very
quiet - a
few birds at the feeder and by the cranberry bogs a Red Fox and over 40 deer.
Being
at the right place at the right time is so important in birding and that's what
happened on 9th Rd. at Necedah WLR about 4 miles east of Mather, an adult GOLDEN
EAGLE soared over the road, beautiful glow in the sunlight. We found only two
over-wintering RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS along the very icy roads NW of the
Visitor's
Center, enjoyed seeing 7 Porcupines. There were several Bald Eagles along the
road
to Petenwell Dam. Ended with 33 Species.
