Had a great time doing the CBC at Montezuma yesterday. I had the pleasure of birding with wildlife biologist Scott Stipetich and Leona Lauster for a long and exciting day of birds. Highlights were probably seeing 4 RLHA including 3 at one location on Morgan Rd. A SEOW, and seing 2 NSHR while driving the dike at Knox. Here is an ebird account of what we saw together.....
