Wilderness Road on the south edge of Funk Bottoms in Wayne County is currently flooded at the peat pits. We first entered the road on the west end from Funk Road and found a large concentration of Tundra Swans and 202 Sandhill Cranes viewed via scope on the north side of the road across the agricultural fields. This is the largest number of Sandhills we have counted at Funk! We then went to the east end of Wilderness Road, entering from Elyria Road and waited until sunset. Two Short-eared Owls and a Northern Harrier were hunting over the field east of the bridge. Other birders noted Greater White-fronted Geese and a Cackling Goose flying over with flocks of Canadas. A pretty nice way to spend Thanksgiving Eve.
