Did not find the Northern Mocking bird recently see at Cone Marsh, but did find a number of spring birds, including:
- Sora - 2 Brown Thrashers singing - Yellow-rumped Warbler Waterfowl were numerous, particularly American Coots. Also Gadwall, American Wigeon, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler,Ring-necked Ducks and Lesser Scaup. On the way down to Cone Marsh from Cedar Rapids, I observed Purple Martins at the plastic gourd houses at the Casey's in Hills, and a Sandhill Crane in Washington County by the water treatment area near the English River on Vine south of Hwy 22.
