Highlight was large numbers of pintail (500), also plentiful were GW Teal, American Widgeon, Mallard, canada goose, less so Gadwall, Ring necked duck, Black duck, even less so hooded Merg, common merg, wood duck and not seen by me coot. Several harriers (no rough legged). A bit up the road at the two silo farm large numbers of horned lark (a few smaller birds with them but unable to get a fix as to whether bunting or longspur). And at the Camel Farm a large (500 or so) flock of Snow Geese (many blue morphs but no Ross’s). And very plentiful in the black dirt were red wing blackbirds and grackles.
