Island WMA (ACE Basin)
On
February
12, we went to the Audubon Society's field trip to Bear Island
Wildlife Management Area to see the migratory Tundra Swans. We
were not disappointed! Not only did we see quite a few of them,
but we also saw White Pelicans, Glossy Ibis, White Ibis, Mottled
Duck, Teal (blue and green), Ruddy Duck, Bald Eagle, Belted
Kingfisher, Anhinga, American Coot, Common Moorhen, Yellowlegs,
Bonaparte's Gull, Merlin, Kildeer, Northern Shoveler, Northern
Pintail, Lesser Scaup, and Eastern Meadowlark. The very
knowledgeable DNR people kindly took us around the property in
their open-air truck trailer, providing us opportunities we
couldn't have had on our own.
