Dave, it sounds like you may have been to Muscatatuck NWR from your list!

Is that where you went?

I am currently "house-bound" with a bad cold, so I have to be content to watch our backyard bird feeders. Nothing new to report, but still have the Red-breasted Nuthatches, Pine Siskins and the "regulars" coming in to feed.

Yes, I did go to Muscatatuck NWR. I should have had more birds but we had a freeze a couple of days ago, and the ponds were frozen over, even though today was near 60 degrees. (And frogs were out in the little thawed-out pond behind the headquarters). During the CBC on January 1st, they had just about all the ducks that can be seen in this area, but because of the freeze, most of them had moved on.

The big freeze/snow that we had has sent all the waterfowl off in search of open water! So my count for Missouri is still quite low.

These two in the Missouri River
50. Common Goldeneye
51. Common Merganser

52. Snow Geese
53. Ring-necked Pheasant
54. Great Horned Owl

That is all I have up to today!
