A quick trip between Cottonwood and Marshall (Lyon County) yielded a few =
surprises.
Corner of County Road 33 and North 7th St., Marshall: There was a bald =
eagle feasting on carrion in the middle of a plowed corn field.
Wet lands at corner of Highway 23 and Barstad Road just east of =
Cottonwood: a killdeer, 100+ rusty blackbirds, and a ONE-LEGGED lesser =
yellow legs (or should I say lesser yellow leg?). It seemed to be =
getting along just fine hopping around on the thin ice!
Sham Lake, just across Highway 23 from Cottonwood: 5 yellow headed =
blackbirds.
Our two mature bald eagles are still hunting on Cottonwood Lake. Today =
there were still Canada geese on the lake along with 2 buffleheads, 5 =
common mergansers, mallards, and lesser scaups.
Lots and lots of goldfinches and house finches in the backyard which =
borders the lake. We had a pheasant hen wander through the backyard =
yesterday! That was a first for the backyard!
