From Charles.....Waterfowl Survey Results

Enjoyed another waterfowl survey at Forsythe NWR with Al Martens, Roz Herlands, and summer intern Abby Gormley. We didn't see the female ruff, but we did catch the two black-necked stilts, as well as 3 bald eagles, 2 wood ducks, a lone blue-winged teal, a peregrine falcon, 18 ospreys, 43 black-bellied plovers, 120 glossy ibises, 3 American oystercatchers, 83 semipalmated plovers, 2 greater and 4 lesser yellowlegs, 45 whimbrels,3 ruddy turnstones, 2 least terns, 53 black skimmers, and 84 short-billed dowitchers. None of my photos were very good, but Anne Marie Mason Morrison and Eric Curtis Cummings graciously agreed to let me share their photos on my page.
