Report:
(This report specifically refers to Blackpoint Dr and Gator Creek Rd) It was easily the most activity I’ve seen at the refuge since last winter. Personally I’ve found it slow out there this winter but it looks like this cold snap and lower water levels have brought it to life. There was nothing terribly exotic to see but the number of birds was incredible. Flocks of Spoonbills, Avocets, all your typical waders, migratory ducks, eagles, sparrows, it really was fantastic out there.
