Last night's travels took me up to Banks Lake area. En route saw American avocet, d-c cormorant, bald eagle, white-throated swifts, ring-necked pheasant, ringed-necked ducks, red-winged blackbird, and raven and a white-tailed deer.

On the way back in from the field my driver ran over a snake, wasn't too pleased with that. Saw a woodrat cross the road.
