Dropped by Plum Creek north of Algona this morning, recent precip has turned the south field into a nice little wetland. Not terribly speciose but had both yellowlegs species, a bunch of waterfowl and swarms of icterids and Tree Swallows.
This last weekend in Humboldt county at the new wetlands made out of drainage wells east of Gilmore the wetlands were full and active with just about every dabbler duck you could imagine and several diver species. A mixed Chen goose flock landed on the northside of Highway 3.
On the way home this evening, north of Ottosen but before the county line I saw two Short-eared Owls working a CRP and a field planted with cover crops.
