2011-10-30 - 9:01 a.m.
Here's our Yellow Rails and Rice Festival List. Lots of people
got lots more birds, depending on how hard they worked and what
field trips they added, but we had a nice list just taking

We also saw some pipits, probably American Pipits, but the leaders
saw both American and Sprague's, and we didn't see them well enough, so
I won't count them. We were really going to chase down some pipits and actually
look at them, but we got distracted with the glamor birds like La Conte's Sparrow
and those charming Great Horned Owls, so that's the way it goes sometimes.
A Brief List of some other animals:
- Leopard Frog
- Northern or Broad-Banded Water Snake -- I will
probably have to learn more about this one from my photo and
the internet
- American Alligator
- Raccoon
