Numbers built incredibly well with the sudden plunge in temps that congregated them near the Consumer's 'hot pond'. Carefully counted major groups in cottonwood trees to the east (14), along the far ice edge (42) and the cottonwoods on Windy Point to the west(16). This total was done within a five minute time period to ensure there was no double counting.

Consumer's has not allowed birders to come into the Karn Plant property since 9/11. As I've led community education groups through the Karn Plant on bird seminars and have been birding there for over thirty years, they finally allowed me to come back in some time around 2005.

Ok thank you for the response. I am familiar with the Jones Rd. terminus area. I will definitely heed your advice regarding the ice as well. Leave a Reply. |
