Subject: Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge I spent November 23rd and 24th driving around and
walking the dikes at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. I put down 57 firm
specie sightings on the Refuge's cool bird list handout.
Most notable (to me) were Great Egret, Am. Bittern,
Sora, and Marbled Godwit.
Also seen a Loggerhead Shrike which is never
seen in our area this time of year.
There are thousands of swans resting at the refuge.
In the a.m. they are very noisy. It is fun to you sit and listen to the few
Trumpeter Swans, with there deeper voices, "whoooing" amongst the
Tundras.
There were many transient shorebirds on the marsh;
some of which I could not Identify. I highly
recommend the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge this time of
year.
