Coinciding with the first gnats, flies, and mosquito an Eastern Phoebe was
singing from a treetop along the east shore of Rapids Lake. Other arrivals to
the area today were Canvasback at both Rapids Lake and Assumption Lake, a
single Blue-winged Teal at Rapids Lake, many American Coot at Rapids Lake, 3
Great Blue Heron flying north, and a Harris's Sparrow(about a month earlier
than my previous earliest) feeding below the Rapids Lake visitor's center
feeders. There were 20+ Fox Sparrow scattered at Rapids Lake MVNWR as well as
35+ Song Sparrow. The local Great Horned Owl also showed himself this morning
at Rapids Lake.
