Yesterday at 6pm, I took a second and final pass at the wetlands that form the Eastern boundary of TH-108 between Ch-71 (at the north) and CH-75 (at the south). In the center of the northernmost of the two marked wetland areas, I ID'd a Ross's Goose. It was among two or three Canada Geese and 2/3 their size. I got several nice looks for long periods and the light was good at that time. The bird was all white, save for dark black primaries discretely tucked away. The bill was small and all pink. It was definitely "cute" (downright gorgeous all-in-all). This would be a lifer, so, naturally, I'm second guessing myself. The overall size and the bill were my primary diagnostic tools. It was actively preening, then feeding, and calmly floating along with those Canadians. *If anyone is headed up that way, I'd surely appreciate your post on what you see*. I spent about two hours scanning ponds 27, but could not find the Eurasion Wigeon. However, the diversity was excellent and included two American White Pelicans. Both ponds 27 and the above-mentioned wetlands were full of Tundra Swans and one or two Trumpeter Swans. These two areas were the most productive of KPWA for me. At the wetlands, I also saw Greater White-fronted Geese, Bald Eagle and Rough-legged Hawk. I was skunked, again, on any owls, the shrike, and the red-headed woodpecker, though I spent most of my time at those two areas with the spotting scope. I was also a bit surprised by 6 wild turkey crossing from a corn field into the brush heading toward ponds 27. Sorry for not posting immediately, didn't get back until after midnight. Happy birding. -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and contains confidential and/or privileged material.
