Cone March WMA outside of Conesville yesterday afternoon/evening had tens of thousands Greater White-Fronted Geese, along with some Snow Geese and at least 2 Ross's Geese and a few Cackling Geese also mixed in with the Canada Geese. Trumpeter Swans in the 500 range, and at least one Tundra Swan mixed in. Sandhill Cranes, Killdeer, and more Red-Winged Blackbirds (with some Rusty Blackbirds, Brown-Headed Cowbirds, and Common Grackles mixed in) than I have ever seen - conservative estimate of 100,000. Every tree was full at dusk (see photos). I also enjoyed a gorgeous sunset with a family of muskrats playing in the water nearby.
