If you are looking to go for a drive in the beautiful weather tomorrow,
you might want to check out the south dike of the Lake Andes NW Refuge.
There were thousands of Canada Geese in the fields and on the ice along with some
Mallards and a few Bald Eagles sitting in the trees. If you are not
familiar with the area, it is on gravel just east of the intersection of
291st St and 386th Ave. There is a trail there too as well as a picnic
table. The migrant song birds have not returned yet, so the trail will
be fairly quiet, but you may see hawks, Bald Eagles and waterfowl. I
just thought I'd let you know. This is just the beginning of the
migration. It will increase ten-fold in the next few weeks!
