We went to a man's house just outside of Turner who had taken farmland that used to be a wetland, and reconverted it back to a wetland. He has put a lot of time and energy into this land to make it a nice refuge for birds and other wildlife. We found this mystery skull below:
The weather wasn't great, but not bad either, just some sprinkle showers. The main wetland below:
This huge dog lived with a herd of goats and was quite protective of them.
The highlight of the trip was definitely seeing two barn owls fly from the barn (he spooked them out for us to see). A bald eagle also flew over us while we were out walking. Others we saw: Eurasian Wigeon, Bufflehead, Ring necked Ducks, Barrow's Goldeneye, Blue Winged Teal, Kildeer, Great Egret (flew by us while squawking, that was cool), American Kestrel, Red winged Blackbird, American Wigeon, and Song Sparrow. There were some others that I can't remember as well.
