Eaton Birding Society - Knox-Marsellus

The Eaton Birding Society visited the dike between Knox-Marsellus and Puddler's Marsh at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge today. EBS took part in a shorebird walk led by Kevin McGowan.

Thanks to the excellent birders around me saw 4 life birds: Short-bill Dowitcher, Red Knot, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, and Whimbrel.

Leaving the walk stopped at Mays Point to check on the progress of the Red-headed Woodpecker. Did not see any babies but the adults were present as well as three other birding photographers.

Breakfast at the Star Diner with three members of EBS was excellent.

Returning home stayed at the Waterloo lock to do a geocache.

At the lock discovered The American Civil War Memorial.

Another great day for birding.
