Sunday's DFO Trip Results and FOUND: Two-Way Radio!
Joey Kellner
The DFO field trip to Prewitt and Jackson Reservoirs was a great success with 22 total participants and 96 species recorded for the day!
First, the group found a two-way radio below the dam at Prewitt Reservoir. We know it was VERY likely a birder as it was set to 11-22. If you lost one there, please contact me offline.
Highlights are: Western Gull, Yellow-billed Cuckoo (5!), Eastern Screech-Owl (3 heard), Ovenbird(2), Chestnut-sided Warbler, shorebirds (14 species), Great Crested Flycatcher and a whole lot more!
