January 13, 2007 Enjoyed a nice walk at the refuge today. There were lots of Mallards and lots of Canada Geese on Black Dog Lake. We also were able to watch a 1/2 dozen Bald Eagles, at times flying very low over the flocks of Mallards on the lake. Plus a few other species. Here are some of the species that our group observed:
Trumpeter Swan - 4 adults and one immature Bufflehead - two female's on the West side of the lake, observed from the power plant road at 3:00pm. Hooded Merganser Common Merganser Double-crested Cormorant Peregrine Falcon - on main smoke stack Herring Gull American Tree Sparrow - Small flock feeding on the ground along the Marsh trail Dark-eyed Junco Craig Mandel, Minnetonka, MN egretc...@msn.com
