We have a heavy influx of Canadian Geese in the area at the moment. The local mall has retention ponds and they do like to hang out around there. Fun to watch em.

That bursa only affects juveniles. Juveniles are key to the success of all the work being done out there with that species. This is horrible news.

There's a lot of interesting information about the Whooping Cranes on the International Crane Foundation website; including some location info:

I've seen sandhills, geese and the first spring starlings just north of Lansing, Mi. I sighted in my "adult air rifle" on Saturday. It's starling season!

The first two robins showed up today, along with a lone red-winged blackbird. I also saw two ducks that appeared to be hooded mergansers. I wonder what will happen this year. The ducks were in the water and the screech owl was in the wood duck house above. I suppose that they will sort it all out.
Two red-tailed hawks are attempting to nest on a building in downtown Lansing this year. The nest is in part of the resident peregrine falcon pair's territory. That should be interesting, as well. |

The doves, cardinals, and catbirds are out and about. Had 3 turkey buzzards flying way over head earlier this afternoon. I was so nice.

Very first robin today. Hopping around out front on frozen ground. I saw one red winged blackbird atop last year's cat tails two days ago. He was there again staking his claim today. Lonely little fella. Sort of like being at a new bar a month before it opens for business. He's going to be hanging out there by his lonely little self for quite a while.
