[mou-net] Waterfowl- Houston County

[MOU admin]

(Posted by Steven C. Houdek  via moumn.org)

I can't let the day end without saying that I've just 
witnessed one of the most miraculous displays of 
migrating ducks and geese in my life, spanning the 
breadth of the river valley and as far north and south on 
the horizon, high flocks and low in a never ending wave 
from early afternoon until dusk.  I can't begin to estimate 
numbers but consider that a good percentage of 
Mississippi Flyway birds passed overhead today.

These are the sights we live for...

[mou-net] Waterfowl- Houston County

[Steven Houdek]

Observed 18 species of waterfowl along the Miss River in Houston County 
yesterday, including the first Blue-winged Teal of the year for me and a nice 
male Ruddy Duck.   Also saw several pelicans flying north along the main 
channel.  The river continues to be mostly frozen except for moving water in 
channels and in areas with small seeps.
