Hi All,

 

Just a quick note that there were three American White Pelicans, a Snow Goose, and several  American Wigeon at the north end of CJ Brown reservoir near Springfield.

 

There were also quite a few Double-crested Cormorants (a quick count turned up at least 50, but there were probably more), many American Coots, Mallards, and Canada Geese as well as two Ring-necked Ducks.

 

There was a Common Loon on the reservoir down near the boat launch area near the state park offices.

 

Hope this helps for the Chili Challenge.

 

Good luck!

 

Casey

	Good Evening,

	

	Congratulations Cuckoos, Aves and Victorious Egret.  Keep up the good

	work.  Just for the record, the Cardinal Cin's have 104 species recorded

	at the present time.  We are trying to exceed our sightings from last year

	records during the month of March, 111.  I think we just might do it.

	

	Happy Birding,

	

	The Cardinal Cin's
