This morning (20th)  I braved the howling gale and found 22 species of 
waterfowl at 3 sites in Dakota County: 1) Spring Lake Reg. Park, 2) Goodwin Ave 
and CR 47, and 3) Lake Byllesby. Some of the most interesting:

Goodwin-CR47:    Ross's Goose - 2; Snow's - 25; Greater White-fronts - 20, 
Tundra Swans - 7

Spring Lake:         Greater Scaup - 1; Lesser Scaup - 400

Lake Byllesby:     Blue-winged Teal - Pair


I also photographed an exceptionally early Dunlin at the west end of Lake 
Byllesby. This basic plumaged bird was feeding close to Killdeer, of which 
there were several present.
