This morning while roaming around the Carver Park Reserve I saw that two Osprey had returned to their nesting platforms, one on Carver Park Rd, and one on Grimm Rd.
I drove around many lakes in the County and their were still 16 species around on the lakes. The Mayer Sewage Ponds on Co 30, had 20 Male Green-winged Teal, and that many Male Canvasback, as well as a nice variety. There were 4 Wilson's Snipe probing on the muddy shoreline. I enjoyed watching them preen which was no easy feat with that long-bill, they were quite the contortionist to reach those breast feathers. In McLeod Co I pulled over next to a muddy wet field with both Teal, Shovlers, and Killdeer and I flushed up a Greater Yellowlegs that took off calling.
