Today was a T&L redistribution day. That's topsoil and litter. Any rain
drops just caused a dirty windshield.



A Snow Goose was with Canada and Cackling Geese this afternoon north of
Scooteney Reservoir. Also a pair of curlews and several hundred cranes.
The reservoir is finally dropping enough to offer the cranes a roost area.
County Line ponds along SR 26 had a single Gr White-fronted Goose, and there
were about 25 in Marsh Unit 1 (closed to entry for a month). More cranes
have moved in. At Red Rock Coulee south of Royal City a half dozen Tree
Swallows joined about 200 violet-greens. As yesterday I found both Northern
and Loggerhead Shrikes near Corfu.
