Two of the Snowy Egrets reported by Randy were still present Saturday, April 15 from 2:30 to at least 3:00. The exact location is west of Willmar on Hwy 12 to Pennock. Go north on Cty. 1 to Cty. 27 and turn left (or west). You'll come to the spot after 1.4 miles, with Swan Lake to the right and the spillway going off to the right. The 2 Snowy Egrets were easily visible from the road. A Great Egret was with them, providing excellent studies of the size contrast, head markings, bills - and those bright yellow feet. They were still feeding when I left at 3:00. Also of note on Swan Lake: Western Grebe (1) Red-necked Grebes Lots of Ruddy Ducks A decent variety of dabbling and diving ducks Linda Sparling Hennepin County --part1_3a4.889ae3.31736c6c_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><HTML><FONT COLOR=3D"#000000" FACE=3D"Gen= eva" FAMILY=3D"SANSSERIF" SIZE=3D"2">Two of the Snowy Egrets reported by Ran= dy were still present Saturday, April 15 from 2:30 to at least 3:00. =20= The exact location is west of Willmar on Hwy 12 to Pennock.
