Sorry for the late post but just got home. Found a juvenile YCNH this afternoon in the pigs eye area of Ramsey County. From 494 exit on Maxwell and go north. The road comes to a T. Take a left and follow the curve to the right where you are now on Red Rock Road. The lake the bird was in is on your right. We saw the bird from the mowed area that is labeled as a city of St Paul lower Red Rock lift station. If I remember right this is right before the second set of concrete lane changers. Also note the large concrete blocks marking it.
>From this spot it is easy to scan the middle portion of the lake. The bird was on a stump right next to the shoreline on the far bank. Note that this is quite a distance and a scope will be necessary to get a good look. Our first impression with binoculars was that this was a American Bittern, but the scope soon corrected that thought. Dennis and Barbara Martin [email protected]
