Shiawassee NWR, SA  - Highlights of my IWMMP survey.  Impressive numbers of Common Gallinules, primarily immature birds, and continuing masses of migrating Bobolink.  These were counted in four separate sections of the refuge within the wildlife drive.  With concerted effort in the expansive seedy/weedy fields, I'm sure the number of Bobolinks could double in number that I counted.
