Hi all! Forest Strnad and I checked out some of our area lakes this cold afternoon and found a good variety of waterfowl on a few of our lakes.
Roberds Lake: 200+ Hooded Mergansers (from the road without optics, I thought they were coots!) 1 Ring-necked Duck French Lake: 2 Horned Grebes 1 Pied-billed Grebe many, many coots 5-6 Buffleheads Wells Lake: 2 Buffleheads 1 female Common Goldeneye 4 Hooded Mergansers Lake Mazaska: 2 Surf Scoters 1 Red-necked Grebe 3 Horned Grebes 5 Gadwall 3 Ruddy Ducks 1 Great Blue Heron many Canada Geese These were all seen on the north side of the lake which is somewhat difficult to find. If you want directions, e-mail me directly. Hopefully I can give you some that won't get you lost! Good birding! Dave Bartkey Faribault,MN [email protected]
