Hello, Yesterday afternoon at Prairie Oaks MP I saw a pretty good list of birds: Ruddy Duck 4 Ring-necked Duck 8, all female Scaup species 1, female Bufflehead 1, female Horned Grebe 4, incl. 1 breeding plumage Pied-billed Grebe 2 Hooded Merganser - 4 Killdeer 8 Wilsons Snipe 1 Tree Swallow 2 Northern Flicker - 2 Brown Creeper 2 Golden-crowned Kinglet 8 Eastern Phoebe 1 Swamp Sparrow 2 Plus the usual Cardinals, Song Sparrows, Field Sparrows, Titmice, Chickadees, R-b Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-tailed Hawks, Turkey Vultures, Goldfinches, Mourning Doves, R-w Blackbirds, and Starlings. I listened carefully for Yellow-throated Warblers and Louisiana Waterthrushes along the river where there are many sycamores, but heard none. Good birding and the best is yet to come.
