March 14, 2015 Kankakee State FWA
It was foggy at 7:30 AM; nevertheless, six birders turned out for Stockbridge Audubon's first field trip of the season. Although much of the water was frozen, we got a good variety of waterfowl, though numbers were not high. We stuck to the Starke County side, including the Headquarters area and Ten-mile Road.
Numbers below for the more ubquitous species are guesses -- who can keep track?
