Stopped by the public boat landing at the west end? of Lake Byllesby in Dakota Co. Monday afternoon around 4:15. I was thrilled to witness a raft of American White Pelican appear from around a point and cross the bay in a beautiful flotilla. I counted 12o in all. Scanned for ducks with a scope, good rafts pretty far out, but bobbing to fast in the waves for my novice waterfowl skills. I did make out: Hooded Merganser Scaup - many Canvas Back or Redhed - many (to much bobbing up and down) 1 Horned Lark in a dry field nearby
