Three great egrets just landed by the river here at our refuge headquarters. Cool! Also have up to 6 fox sparrows at the feeder. Yellow-rumped warblers yesterday and this morning. Brown creepers in the yard last Thursday and again today. A volunteer heard and saw greater yellowlegs flying over County Road 9 this morning.
We're making progress, despite the weather! Although the St. Francis River is open, along with many of the smaller marshes, larger ones still have ice on them. We still have quite a bit of snow and ice in the woods and on trails, however.
