Take care, Larry. I'm in your general area, but my driving is limited for other reasons. The two hours to Missouri would be about my limit.
Started, or updated, Nebraska list. I had two lifers from NE: first redstart and burrowing owl. Added pheasant, but not a lifer. Lifer ran across highway in Iowa. Never had pheasant in Missouri.

As it was the first really springy-type spring day today a trip over to Wales for a couple of specialities I dipped on last time takes me to 472 with the addition of Black Grouse, Dartford Warbler, Atlantic Fulmar and Long-tailed Duck.

Thursday we had a blizzard that dumped more than a foot of snow. Today was sunny and near 50 degrees Farenheit. Much of the snow, as well as ice on the ponds, is melting, and the warmer weather seems to have brought in some early spring migrants.
I broke the one-hundred mark today, adding four birds to my Year List.

Good going Tero on the redstart and the owl. Whereabouts are you in Nebraska?

Just as I was getting ready to leave work, I received a text message from a birder friend who had just found a rare bird for this area. Conveniently, the site was on my way home, so I stopped and found the bird right away.

A wander around the West Kirby area, on my way to the shops, turned up my first incoming summer migrants.

The ice is melting and ducks are starting to move in. This afternoon I went to an area of flooded fields which have attracted hundreds of ducks. I saw ten species, one of which was new for the year.
110. Blue-winged Teal
The highlight for me, however, was seeing my first Canvasbacks in Preston County, my 207th species for my home county.

Just got in from looking for woodcocks. I found my target, seeing a total of four, three of which were in flight in my spotlight and one on the ground from just a few feet away.
