After the Storm

A strong winter storm that pulled out of the Rockies earlier this week has brought deadly tornadoes to the Gulf Coast States. In its wake, strong northwest winds are pushing cold, dry air into central Missouri. Flocks of migrant waterfowl will take advantage of these tail winds as they head for wintering grounds across the southern plains and lower Mississippi Valley. Following the flocks of ducks and geese, bald eagles and peregrine falcons will feast on weak and injured birds. The cycle continues.
