I went looking for loons with out-of-town guests today at Atwater Road in
Lansing, but it was far too windy for them. We headed to Montezuma, drove
around the main pool, and were treated to hundreds of ducks lazily foraging
and occasionally flying off in response to immature eagles and the
occasional Northern Harrier. The graceful Pintail was plentiful and is one
of most favorite ducks.even though they spend so much time foraging and
tipped up. The species we saw were:
Canada geese (hundreds) near the Visitor’s Center
Pied-billed Grebe
Coot (hundreds)
Bald Eagle
Norther Harrier
Red-tailed Hawk
*Ducks*
Gadwall
American Wigeon
Shoveler
Northern Pintail (numerous)
Mallards
Blue-winged Teal
On both the trip up Rt. 90 and back, we saw numerous,s scattered TVs and
Red-tailed Hawks. We also came across the largest Mink road kill I have
ever seen on Sapsucker Woods Road.
Go Birding,
Candace
