I made a quick stop by 6 1/2 Station Road Sanctuary this afternoon. I am happy to report almost all the ice has finally melted and there was some waterfowl present, including the highlight of the day, a pair of COMMON GOLDENEYES. Here is my list for the afternoon:

  2. Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the good news about 6 1/2 Sta. I had stopped by a few times but it remained closed with ice.

    Wilma’s comment on the RTHA moved me to comment also – – – – – look at that NAIL! WOW! Now that’s a tool that can do real damage. Thanks Matt.

    1. Ken,

      I wouldn’t want to mess with that bird, that’s for sure! Good to hear from you. Matt

  3. We stopped by last weekend and had only a very brief glimse of the RTHA. The only other birds we saw were some Canada Geese hanging out in the cattails. Thanks for the update. Will try to get back over this weekend.

    1. Sorry Jean, I just saw this today. I hope you do well if you make it back to the sanctuary. Let me know how you do. Matt

      1. BTW, I don’t know how to get the word out, or if anyone is interested, but if you think so maybe you can help. I saw Horned Grebes Friday & Yesterday at Rio Dam! I was so excited!
