A friend got me started on county bird listing and I've been doing a bit here and there when I can. I understand American coot is a challenge there so I thought I'd report my success at finding some (after numerous attempts) along Shelton-Matlock road at Nahwatzel Lake?located just east of Matlock. They were visible from the road when we pulled off on the shoulder.
?
And for that tip, I'd appreciate someone's help at finding Northern shovelerts in Mason county. They're supposed to be a "1", but after many tries at every small lake I could find and several trips to Thieler wetlands I'm starting to wonder. So any help or pointers will be appreciated.
