Today I birded several areas in the Killbuck wildlife area near Shreve and the Funk Bottoms area along Wilderness Rd and Hwy 95. These areas are quite flooded with water levels as high as I have seen in awhile. I saw a total of 19 species of waterfowl combined at these places. Numbers of ring-necked ducks exceeded all other species combined. Counts are best estimates of what I saw from 1 - 5pm.
