American Kestrel - 3
Rough-legged Hawk - 13
Harrier - 11
Red-tailed Hawk - 2
Great Blue Heron - 3

Ring-necked Duck - 230+
Green-winged Teal - 35
Mallard - 27
Northern Pintail - 1
Gadwall - 3
Pie-billed Grebe - 1
Coot - 1
Killdeer - 7
Black-bellied Plover - 1 (persistent roadside dweller, would flush and fly
back to roadside after each passing car)
Snipe - 1
Savannah Sparrow - 3
Swamp Sparrow - 2
Song Sparrow - 3
Snow Bunting - 1
Horned Lark - 17

Also in Morgan County near Burr Oak Lake (old DeLorme 70 D2) the resident
Great Horned Owls have been vigorously establishing their territories for
the nesting season and apparently I live on the border of two of those.
Several nights ago the persistent dueting started around 10:00 PM and still
at 5:00 AM it continued.  The assertive hooting could be heard echoing in
the valleys below.  Screech and Barred Owl have also been active lately with
vocalizing birds heard before dusk and around dawn daily.
