Wilson Lake


Faced with the fact that finding new species is getting more difficult (at least until it gets closer to Spring), I braved the snow-packed roads and traveled to Wilson Lake in central Kansas on Saturday.  My efforts were rewarded with 5 new species for the year – Townsends Solitaire, Mountain Bluebirds, Canvasback, a pair of Greater Scaup, and a Virginia Rail.  The Rail responded to a recorded call in a marsh located in Sylvan Park below the Wilson Lake dam.  This brings my year species total to 108.
