Coddle Creek waterfowl



Birders,

It's a toss-up as to which "new name" I despise the most - Lake Don T.
Howell or Long-tailed Duck. At any rate, the latter was not seen on the
former, but a good representation was observed at the Hwy 136 side. With all
of the recent precipitation, the level of the reservoir has risen
considerably, to the point of 2-3 feet on the north side of 136 which I have
not seen in my 3 previous years of visiting the site. I would recommend
visiting now since birds are closer to viewing/accessible sites than
previously.
