Birding - Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge

South Spring Pool

Midweek. Decided to go birding. Driving into the Refuge sighted a Greater Yellowlegs along the entrance driveway.
Along the Auto-Drive came upon a group of American Coots. There on the edge of the reeds was a Juvenile American Coot.
An adult American Coot leaped in front of a group of Mallards.
A Kingfisher was perched on a sign at the Spillway.
A pair of Trumpeter Swans were in the pond just before the western turn in the road.
A Greater Yellowlegs was in the water in the new excavations along the Thruway. This is the first bird that I have observed in this area.
Continued on to South Spring Pool. There was the resident Kingfisher.
Walking the trail noticed a Brown Hawker Dragonfly in the grass.
Off in the distance perched on a bare tree was an osprey.
Another great day for birding.
