Note on the official outing of the Sioux Falls Bird Club today. After splitting into two groups at Grass Lake, the SFBC folks doing the Wall Lake return route discovered FOY W. Meadowlark, Turkey Vulture(very early) (at the city landfill) Ring-billed Gulls, and an excellent leucistic Canada Goose. The endless streams of Snow Geese did not stop even when I entered my home. If your area does not get the thrill of seeing or hearing the hundreds of thousands of these harbingers of Spring, a brief video is below. Also see a photo of the leucistic goose. The Snow geese seemed to be very widespead in their groups this year, with some even over the western edge of Minnesota. Go to www.leifericson.org/sfbc for slide show of the trips highlights. Mark will post a complete list of species, including his group's return sightings.
