First Day - Wildlife Management Area

We once walked in this place regularly, but our walking buddy moved and other things have gotten in the way. But our scheduled first day hike was cancelled due to weather and we needed to hike. Construction blocks the regular entrance so we went in the other entrance - one we never use. Of course we got a little lost, but Google got us out.

The only birds moving were Cedar Waxwings and Crows and maybe a Cardinal in the distance. There were NUMBERS of waxwings. I guess I forgot how beautiful they are.

We will plan the next walk a little better. I need to check the area where most of the milkweeds were in the spring/summer. There were plants in the open areas and all along the ditches on both sides of the roadway. Of course these have been bulldozed and I fear all the plants destroyed. I will have to be more alert to construction and "saving" before it is too late.

First walk in the wildlife management area in a good long time. Saw loads of Cedar Waxwings. Don't think I got a photo, but going back through photos to see. Lucky to find the milkweed seed.

It is probably from an Antelope Horns plant. I have wandered this area extensively and observed 50+ plants last spring, but only two were Green Antelope Horns at this location.
