It was mostly clear & warm, and a little windy, on the survey today. 62 species were found. Migration is really starting to pick up. A number of new arrivals around today. Duck numbers are decreasing sharply. Had another flock of Sandhill Cranes migrating over today. A Horned Grebe on Lotus Lake was noteworthy as we rarely see these here. The first returning Common Gallinule of the year was seen today on Lotus Lake.
