We frequently travel to Market Lake in the spring an early summer to enjoy the migrating and nesting waterfowl. We see a variety of waterfowl and other bird species. I highly recommend you go to Market Lake and enjoy the wildlife.
We had a fun Sunday afternoon at Market Lake Wildlife Management Area. We started off seeing a beautiful cinnamon teal drake. I love this species's zubrant cinnamon color, it is one of my favorite ducks. We next saw a group of cinnamon teal and in the group of cinnamon teal was a blue teal drake and hen. We tried to pictures of them but were unable to. We then saw american coots or mud hens as alot of people like to call them. We saw thousands out coots, it was insane. The canal that was infront of the ponds were covered in coots. Then to our shear enjoyment we saw a red-breasted merganser male, what a beautiful bird. To our surprize he had caught a fish and it was hanging out of his mouth. We also got an awesome picture of a american widgeon drake.We saw a few redheads and canvasbacks, but they were to far away to get good pictures of. We also saw scaups and buffleheads. We saw a great blue heron and got a few shots of him. We saw about a hundred snow geese as well. We saw a northern harrier and got a picture of her in flight. After we left Market Lake we stopped by a slough that is close to Menan, Idaho. There we got a picture of pintail drake. All together we had a great time. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Enjoy,
