I spent yesterday (Saturday) at the Stearns Boy Scout Camp near Fairhaven in the southeast corner of Stearns Co. Found at least 34 species including:
House Wren Vesper Sparrow Fox Sparrow Juncos (200+) Woodcock (at least 7 displaying) Screech Owl Sand Hill Cranes (calling) Common Mergansers (displaying!) Common Loon (1 calling softly as it flew overhead; 1 calling loadly and then flying overhead) Canvassback (nearby) Tundra Swans (3 flocks plus more heard) Northern Flicker Coopers Hawk Also, home in Eagan, we had a pair of Hooded Merganser checking out the Wood Duck houses. Hopefully they will nest again this year. Steve Weston on Quiggley Lake in Eagan, MN [email protected]
