3/30/06 -P.M. Dakota Co. Wetland at CR 47 and Goodwin: At least 60 white-fronts including a striking dilute-plumaged individual. This is the first partial albino of this species I have seen. It is the color of coffee with way too much cream added. The "white-front" is large but less visible than on normal-plumaged birds. The bill is also a tad more orange than the others. Many ducks here as well. Lake Byllesby: 19 species of ducks, 5 Common Loons, Horned and Pied-billed Grebe. 180th wetland: 10 Greater White-fronted Geese, 4 Cackling Geese, plus lots of ducks. 140th wetland: 4 Cackling Geese plus ducks, including Ruddy. Most ponds starting to open up throughout the area. Next few days will be interesting.
