Richard Stevens:
Bryan Ehlmann and I birded along Interstate 76 today. Skies were overcast; winds 8 mph.
At Jackson Reservoir (Morgan County), we managed to relocate one Long-eared Owl at the Campgrounds. A walk along the southern dam walk for about a mile found two Bonaparte's Gulls and a 1st/2nd year Glaucous Gull. It appeared to be too early for migrants; not even a House Wren was found.
Several American Avocets, a Greater Yellowlegs and Lesser Yellowlegs were observed from the northern Wildlife Area.
The Bonaparte's Gulls may be those found at nearby Andrick Wildlife Area. Nothing uncommon was found there.
The previously reported Winter Wrens could not be found at Brush Wildlife Area. One Red-bellied Woodpecker was observed working the trees at the northern border. No House Wrens, they might have been expected.
Prewitt Reservoir (Logan/Washington) was slower yet. Two Bonaparte's Gulls were found flying around the eastern end. Few birds moved around the outlet canal below the dam.
At dusk, we found an Eastern Screech-Owl at the inlet area.
