I made a loop around the Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive this morning and found 54 species. I was surprised to hear as many birds singing as there were, at 23 degrees! Nice collection of waterfowl and my FOY brown thrasher serenade was appreciated. No gallinules...yet! Here's my complete list: greater white-fronted goose (small flock - flyover Nelson Pool) Canada goose trumpeter swan wood duck gadwall American wigeon mallard blue-winged teal green-winged teal ring-necked duck bufflehead hooded merganser ring-necked pheasant wild turkey common loon pied-billed grebe great blue heron turkey vulture bald eagle northern harrier red-tailed hawk American kestrel sandhill crane killdeer greater yellowlegs (Little Bluestem Pool) mourning dove downy woodpecker northern flicker eastern phoebe blue jay American crow tree swallow bank swallow black-capped chickadee white-breasted nuthatch brown creeper ruby-crowned kinglet eastern bluebird American robin brown thrasher European starling yellow-rumped warbler eastern towhee field sparrow lark sparrow fox sparrow song sparrow white-throated sparrow dark-eyed junco red-winged blackbird eastern meadowlark common grackle brown-headed cowbird American goldfinch Betsy Beneke Sherburne NWR
