I rarely see mergansers at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area but I saw some tonight. The ice is about 25% out on Lake Marsden. I'm especially excited for the next few days as the ice recedes more. It's the best time of year to see the river otters.

I also see many "firsts" when I'm out at the WVA. Tonight was no different. I saw the biggest airplane I've ever seen fly by. An Antonov:

Today at the TCAAP WVA, I saw a Common Yellowthroat

There hasn't been a lot of bird activity at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area lately. This common yellowthroat female or juvenile stopped by for only a few minutes. I saw a loon on the lake and a phoebe, just briefly on the barbed wire.

Mostly I saw planes.
