What with yesterday's excellent weather, we made our way to Maple River State Game Area and wandered around on the levies. We went mostly to walk, but it's a bird watcher's paradise. Yesterday we saw:
* Paired-off Canada geese, nesting. Hundreds of 'em.
* Hundreds of ducks. Lots of variety.
* A few gulls.
* Some swans, possibly tundra swans, in the distance. Joan was hoping for more, and closer.
* What was likely a golden eagle, but too distant to be certain.
* The usual small birds. Mostly starlings this time.
We also heard lots of frogs, which was fun.
I didn't bring my DSLR, as we were out mainly for exercise, and the still-brown foliage and flat terrain makes for dull pocket-cam photography. But this family brought serious gear, and presumably got some fine views (& photos) of the geese.
