There was a Ross's Goose at Ada Hayden in Ames at 5:30 this afternoon. It was with Canada geese in the northern pond in the wetlands west of the main lake. It was easy to find because there were no Snow geese around.
There were a number of American Mergansers in the pond just south of that one (or maybe the ponds are connected now). Other birds seen in a short stay were mallards, ring-billed gulls, tree sparrows, a song sparrow, redwings. --- 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.
