Joel Greenberg and I visited Killdeer Plains WA this morning, looking
mainly for waterfowl. Most sites were devoid of them, but the middle
impoundment of Pond 27 along Cty 68 had the following:
350 coots
45 swans, all or mostly all tundras; they were calling
one mute swan
55 g. white-fronted geese
one white snow goose
        numbers <20 @ of:
pintails
green-winged teals
black ducks
gadwalls
ruddy ducks
lesser scaups
redheads
canvasbacks
American wigeons
ring-necked ducks
        sorry, no mallards or Canada geese.
couldn't find any shrikes, probably too windy.
        Spent some time talking with some hunters in the parking lot. They were
there after pheasants, checking out an audio tape of a red-tailed hawk's
scream. They told us it was part of their strategy to keep pheasants
from breaking cover before they got close enough.
No owls were found at the well-known roost sites, but the shotgun fire
kept us from staying long.
