Kankakee State FWA
March 19, 2022
Only four birders braved the weather for the field trip to Kankakee FWA, so we all fit easily into one car. If the weather was unsettled, so was the birding. Instead of the usual hundreds of Greater White-fronted Geese, we found seven, There were no Snow Geese. Nevertheless, we actually enjoyed ourselves.
