bird survey

Summer 2026 bird point count results: Goose Pond, Erstad Prairie, Otsego Marsh, and Hillside Prairie

I conducted similar point counts to learn what birds can be found on these properties to reflect how management decisions have affected bird populations and how we can make informed management decisions going forward.

High Counts of Waterfowl at Goose Pond

High Counts of Waterfowl at Goose Pond

We thought it would be interesting to look at the high counts for the 36 species of waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans) on our Goose Pond bird list. There have been 3,500 checklists from Goose Pond entered on eBird, and about 1 in a 100 checklists included a high count of waterfowl.
