>From Caboose: Sandhill Crane-9 White Pelicans-17 Female/Immature Mallards- 100 plus, we finally saw one male from the boatramp. Loggerheaded Shrike-1
Canada Goose- many >From 220th: Sandhill Crane-2 Cormorant- a pair In general, Great Blue Herons and Canada Geese were scattered in good numbers all over Cone Marsh. Dyke: Pectoral Sandpipers-10 Boat ramp: Sandhill Cranes-2 Doing some great and close honking, although honking doesn't do the sound justice. The honk was a lifer for me--great sound. We saw several groups of 100 plus Tree Swallows gathering on telephone lines in that neck of the woods. Lots of vegetation but nothing else at Wiese Slough, just a quick look and a first time trip there. -- Tim Fairfield --- Please contribute your sightings to our list; it is only as good as members make it! --- Birding channel recommendation for FRS/GMRS radio use: Primary selection; channel 5/0 , alternate selection; channel 6/0 --- This mailing list is sponsored by the Iowa Ornithologists' Union.
