77 Blue-winged Teal at Marsh Wren Community Wetlands US-NE 16 Mar 2020
78. Prairie Falcon at Marsh Wren Community Wetlands US-NE 16 Mar 2020
79. Western Meadowlark

The falcon I had for the state, but the reviewer never fully accepted it and the state records ignored it. This one I have a photo of. I had it a couple of years back in Wyoming, but no photo.
