First, a big thank you to Nancy Corona & the Refuge staff for making another smooth CBC possible. With much of our Count Circle being within the NASA Security Area, it would be impossible to conduct this count without help-providing us with badged drivers, government vehicles, access to otherwise closed areas & coordination with NASA & Refuge Security etc. It’s a pleasure to work with Nancy & all the other Refuge staff.
We observed 154 species, which is about average for recent MI Refuge counts.
Some notable bird sightings on our Count this year: (I don’t have a writeup on the Stilts yet-only one team reported this)
- Cinnamon Teal
- Black-bellied Whistling Duck
- White-winged Dove
- Wilson’s Phalarope
- Common Goldeneye
- Greater Scaup
- Long-billed Dowitcher
- Black-necked Stilt
- Sharp-tailed Sparrow
Thanks to all!
