Christmas Bird Count - Friday Dec 20
We have scheduled our CBC in 2024 on Friday, December 20. Our count last year was successful and the weather was all right. Hope many of you can participate again this year. Please contact Doug Overacker at cdoveracker@woh.rr.com if you are interested. We will assign everyone to cover certain areas. Then you will report your results to Doug who will tally the results.
Saturday - Sunday April 5 - 6
It looks like this weekend will be rainy both days. If I think we might have a chance to have a walk I will update the website by Friday. It really looks like we won't have a walk this week. Lets hope next week is better. Email Doug Overacker at cdoveracker@woh.rr.com if you have any questions.
Recent Bird Sightings
Many of the ducks have passed through the area but there are still some around. At the north end of the reservoir at Buck Creek State Park we have seen several species of dabbling ducks. On Wednesday we also saw a Ross's Goose and a blue morph Snow Goose. Some pelicans remain. Woodcocks are putting on a good show at the Prairie View area at the state park. We saw our first Brown Thrasher on Wednesday and a phoebe has shown up in Old Reid Park.
