Hi Folks,
Flood Brothers Farm Count 3-9-16 2:00 pm to 4:45 pm
Partly cloudy to cloudy; wind 3-5 mph; temp 58-62 F
Observer: Norm Famous
I counted birds in the Flood Brothers Farm in the Clinton/Benton area this afternoon. The birds were pretty sparse in the cornfields, except for the group of Canada geese and dabbling ducks. I spent about two hours in the fields next to my car. It was too muddy to walk far along the cornfield access roads. Nice place. The manure ponds were unfrozen and without birds.
~250 to 275 Canada geese
2 Green-winged teal
11 Mallards
~20 Black ducks
1 Red-tailed hawk
1 Bald eagle
2 Herring gulls (fly over)
2 Killdeer (in two different areas)
12 Wild turkeys – heavy courtship battles between males while the females looked on.
20 Mourning doves
+ Rock pigeon (no estimate) I noticed about 15 birds
1 Black capped chickadee
~40 American crows
1,500-2,000 European starlings (difficult to get a good count)
8 Red-winged blackbirds in six groups (all scattered, 1 on territory)
1 Fox sparrow
1 Savannah sparrow
2 Song sparrows
1 Snow bunting
15 Horned larks
~150 English sparrows (hard to count stuck in barns)
1 Barn cat
1 Raccoon corpse
