Milton Road

 March 28, 2021

A Pink-footed Goose was reported the day before. So, despite the impending rain and general cloudiness, we headed out in the morning.  As we drove north on Milton, we saw some swans on the east side in the same flooded field as a large group of Canadas.  We stopped the car and scoped them - Tundra Swans!

Many birders were driving back and forth looking for the goose, but there was no sign of it.  We drove east on Perrault then south on Frank Kenny, stopping at the flooded fields.  Ducks were distant, but we were able to see many Northern Pintails and Green-wing Teals.  Barbara also spotted a Redhead.

We circled back onto Milton Road and drove to Smith, heading west.  We were pleasantly surprised to see two Sandhill Cranes near the corner of 10th Line.

There were turkeys in the same field.

We headed for home as the rain picked up.
