I had a chance to do some birding in an around Lake La Su An Wildlife area in Williams County today (in the far northwestern corner of the state).
Some of the highlights:
1) I found a pair of Sandhill Cranes along SR 576 counter calling with a distant crane or cranes. In just a few years, they seem to have built a small population in Williams County.
2) A red-shouldered hawk was seen flying over Lake Sue, still an uncommon sight in the area.
3) Brown creepers were singing in a wooded swamp near Lake La Su An. They have been breeding here now for the past several years.
4) Single northern parula, yellow-throated warbler and Louisiana waterthrushes were found. They may all have small breeding or at least summering populations there.
5) A common moorhen and two juvenile hooded mergansers were in a pond along County Rd. S.
6) Henslow's sparrows and bobolinks in several areas along County Rd. S.
