Ah, spring! I took an afternoon trip to Riverlands. I was unable to join the WGNSS group this morning, but felt the urge to check on spring migration. I was stunned by the numbers of White Pelicans and gulls. Does anyone else who has been there care to estimate the number of Pelicans? There surely are thousands. People--not birders necessarily--were staring in awe at the wonderful display of white. I also saw my first tree swallow of the year. Probably not the most there have been certainly, but lots of waterfowl were present. I was pleased to see a pair of Buffleheads and a small flock of green winged teal. What a delightful time and place! BTW, what are "they" doing to the woods down near the locks? It seems lots of trees have been removed and a roadway/path has been made.
