Havasu National Wildlife Refuge

After spending the night in Laughlin we birded from our Riverview room on Saturday morning, March 3rd, for a while before driving to a spot close to the bridge. A Peregrine spooking the ducks at that spot meant we had over 20 species for the morning. We then drove down to Pintail Slough on Havasu NWR hoping to see the three Trumpeter Swans that had been found in Mohave Valley on January 12. This was the first time I had the opportunity to try for these birds, but the birds were gone. We did see a group of around 400 Snow Geese, and after running into Lauren had a Harris's Hawk fly over! We saw many duck species and several raptors at Pintail Slough and enjoyed birding the area.
