We’ve been birding near Devil’s Lake, North Dakota. From the looks of things, it’s been raining here since God was a boy. Can’t tell lake from land. There are some migrants. Ducks and coots are swimming right along the edges of US Highway 2 concrete. Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge was a destination, but we could not find open roads to take us there. Water covers everything. Here is a bird with wind problems. Can you identify it? Answer several clicks down.
