Mark Junghans and I headed west today to look for geese despite the rain. We ended up with 53 species and found decent numbers of geese in Grant and Traverse counties.
Highlights: We found Snow and Greater White-fronted geese along Hwy 27 in Grant Cty on both sides of the town of Herman. We encountered 4 nice flocks in Traverse county along cty 10 w of 75, and along Hwy 75 between cty rd 10 and the Wilkin county border. We found a huge flock of Tundra swans along Hwy 75 just south of Traverse County 97 that we estimated at 1200 birds plus. 2 Ross's geese mixed in with Snow Geese in Traverse Cty. Large numbers of Canadas with a sprinkling of Cackling geese around the Spink WPA on Hwy 54 in Grant County. White Pelican at Mud Lake Good numbers of ducks all over Grant and Traverse counties.
