[redcliffs] No. Rough-winged Swallow and geese on the move

[Rick Fridell]

Hello,

This weekend (2/15-18) there have been large flocks of geese moving through
Washington County.  Mixed flocks of geese have been in the Washington
Fields, SR-9 (Hurricane) Sewage Ponds, and at Sand Hollow State Park.  The
largest and most diverse flock was at the SR-9 Ponds including several
hundred Canada Geese, ~150 Snow Goose, a few Ross's Geese, and a single
Greater White-fronted Goose.  Flocks of at least 50 Snow Geese were also in
the Washington Fields and at Sand Hollow State Park.

On Saturday (2/16), there were three Trumpeter Swans and a couple Tundra
Swans in a recently planted field in the Hurricane Fields.

Also on Friday afternoon (2/15), I observed the first Northern Rough-winged
Swallow of the season at Seegmiller Marsh.


Best Regards,
