Birded Lyon, Yellow Medicine and Redwood Counties today and found very few
birds. Lakes are just opening up and were almost completely barren of birds.
Did have several Brown Creepers and Golden Crown Kinglets in my Mothers yard
in Cottonwood, Lyon County and Phoebe and Ruby Crowned Kinglet in Redwood
Co..
I did have a pair of Trumpeter Swans on a slough a mile south of Cottonwood.
Does anyone know the meanings of numbers on tags on Trumpeters, I was able to
read tags on both birds. One bird had a worn red neck band with the letters
J03 on it and the other had a bright Yellow wing band with the number 311.
other birds seen - Harrier, Unidentified Longspur, Bluebirds, several
Immature Bald Eagles, run of the mill ducks
