Hello all, I found 12 horned grebes in the large gravel pit about 1/2 mile north of Bicentennial Prairie SNA near Felton on the 13th. Several waterfowl species present also. Keep in mind that the gravel pits are privately owned, but the birds can be viewed from the road. I have not yet found any prairie specialties, but will keep my eyes and ears open. I'm conducting an insect survey on the beach ridge prairies, so I'm there quite frequently.
