Today Becky & I saw a lone SNOW GOOSE on Van Cleef today along with a few mallards & gulls. Fresh blood was evident, running from near the base of the head down to the wings. We assumed it had been shot by a hunter & made it to the lake. It seemed to be alert but not swimming away from the company of the mallards.
Besides a GREAT BLUE HERON flying overhead, we also saw the EAGLE on the new nest at Mud Lock. The "OPEN" flag was out at the visitor's center at the refuge but we didn't have time to stop.
