Hello,
This upcoming Saturday, April 12, 2014 is the annual WSO Mead State
Wildlife Area birding field trip. I hope many of you can attend this
years field trip, especially since we had to cancel it last year due to
no migrants and frozen marshes. The situation this spring is much
better, and the marshes are starting to open more and more each day.
Many migrants are already moving into the area, and with the warm
weather forecasted for this next week, next Saturday's field trip looks
like it'll be taking place. As for sightings, today, the Tundra Swans
were really moving through in good numbers, and at least seven Greater
White-fronted Geese were sighted (an unusual bird, but not rare for this
neck of the woods). Rusty Blackbirds, Lapland Longspurs, and more have
already been sighted, and new migrants are arriving each day.
So plan on meeting myself, along with my co-leader Gerry Janz, as we
explore the George W. Mead State Wildlife Area. See this link for more
