I visited Schell Osage CA a couple of days ago, and was shocked at the number of dead Snow Geese I saw.
There is always a huge raft of them in Atkinson Lake at this time of year, with an occasional mortality.
But on my visit, numerous carcasses were washed against the Atkinson Lake dike road, and others were lying dead in the field to the north.
I didn't count them, but there must have been at least 30 or 40 carcasses.
Unfortunately, the ones in the field are very near a couple of Bald Eagle nests.
I went on to the North Campground and spied a lone Snow Goose swimming in Schell Lake.
It appeared to have blood on its neck and down its breast.

This report is a little late, but I think still of interest.
On Tuesday, Dec 3, we had a wonderful prescribed burn at Audubon Trails Nature Center in Rolla. The burn was about 23 acres and included a small glade, woodland, savanna, and our remnant prairie,
>>>> A big thank you to the crews from Quail Forever who ran the burn for us, along with assistance from some very able volunteers!<<<<
During the burn, a couple of Red Tailed Hawks were checking the area out, I presume hunting for some of the rabbits we flushed out.
Also, a Cooper's Hawk and a Sharp-shinned Hawk were patrolling in the woodland outside the burn unit.
Quite interesting to see.
In the days after the burn, birds were feeding extensively in the burned prairie and savanna and also taking shelter in the unburned shrubby areas. Several Bluebirds, Song Sparrows, Swamp Sparrows, Goldfinches, and Yellow-shafted Flickers observed.
It's always interesting to see the changes in use of the areas after a burn.
On another note: my husband and I watched a Sharp-shinned Hawk kill a male cardinal in our front yard today. Sad for the cardinal, but yeah for the hawk!

Hello everyone,
Hope everyone has had a great 2024! It's that season again (CBC season) and I wanted to let you know the date for the Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge count this year will be Saturday January 4th. Due to a late duck season its a little later than normal this year.
For those who are not familiar with the Cannon CBC, the count does cover a number of public lands in both Missouri and Illinois including Clarence Cannon NWR, all 3 units of BK Leach conservation area, Prairie Slough conservation area, and the Plant Materials Center. It also covers a number of private lands and roads throughout the circle.
If you are interested in participating this year or have any questions, please let myself or Bruce Schuette (<basch...>) know as soon as possible to help assign areas. Thanks so much in advance for your help and hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!!
Good Birding and Happy Holidays

Bob,
Note that from what I see on Google Maps it hasnāt been updated since some road construction in the Riverlands area!
From Alton cross the Mississippi River going south on the Clark Bridge (Hwy 67). About a half mile south of the bridge there is a U-Turn lane to go north on 67, take that and then make the immediate right exit (Riverlands Way) at the gas station. There are signs for Riverlands and the Audubon Center. As you pass the gas station Teal Pond will be on your right, Ellis Bay on the left. The first right from Riverlands Way (Wise Road) will take you to a parking lot at the south edge of Teal Pond. This is also the way to Orton Rd and Cora Island NWR birding areas. Note that Orton Rd is really the south edge of Riverlands. There is a blind there and the a trail past the gate at the end of the road.
Farther down Riverlands Way is the Audubon Center with displays and nice restrooms. Continuing on you have views of Ellis Bay on the left and Heron Pond on your right. Past the maintenance sheds is the road to Ed and Pat Jones Confluence SP. The road and park are separate hotspots. If you continue on Riverlands Way the road makes a curve to the left and takes you to a parking lot at the lock and dam. Note that about halfway past the curve you enter Illinois and a different eBird hotspot. The parking lot at the lock and dam is also in Illinois.
Check those hotspots in eBird to see what has been reported.
Once in a while Peregrine Falcons are spotted sitting on the Clark Bridge Towers.

The Boone County blackbird roost is as active as weāve ever seen it; weāre confident that numbers exceed 2 million by a comfortable margin.
āThis has got to be one of the best ornithological spectacles in the whole of North America, and it is only us watching it.ā āMatt Aeberhard, December 1, 2024
An alternate viewing location is to park along Barnes Road on the east side of the miscanthus field, a little bit south of the bridge over Silver Fork Creek. Many birds seem to follow the Silver Fork corridor on their way in, so this location can often be even more immersive than Dunbar, though it also gets more vehicle traffic. Here you will see and smell the roost.
In addition to Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles, there are Brown-headed Cowbirds and probably at least a few Great-tailed Grackles using the roost. Itās also worth looking for Rusties. Raptor watching is good too: Pete Monacell honed in on two northern Red-Tailed Hawks (abieticola), whose breeding grounds would be in the boreal forest; they were hanging out together (perhaps travel companions?). And it is also fun to see and hear the Trumpeter Swans that have returned to the area and can often be seen flying over the roost.
It is definitely an experience that can be enjoyed by birders of all skill levels. Plan a trip, bring a friend, dress, warm, and enjoy the show! At either viewing location, please respect private property and stay along the gravel roads. The landowners have been very gracious regarding people visiting this site and weād like to maintain their trust and support.

Hi all,
I just wanted to write a quick note here that there are currently five separate Northern Shrikes spread between Prairie State Park and Shawnee Trail CA in Barton county! Two are very easily accessible but the other three require quite quite. Hike at either place. There's one that's been hanging out directly north of the visitors center at Prairie, and one that frequents power lines on the West edge of Shawnee Trail Conservation area. There's also a good sized flock of Smith's Longspurs in a hayed prairie at the state park 37.5081077, -94.5382531
Good birding!
