While duck hunting with my brother saw 3 Short Eared Owls at a large
state WMA off the NW corner of Middle Lake in Nicollet County on Friday AM. On
Saturday saw a flock of 12 white phase Snow Geese over a State WMA south of
Lura
Lake in Faribault County. There were two Cackling Canada Geese in with the
Snow Geese and the two Cackling Geese were vocalizing back and forth with each
other while the Snows were silent. I've never seen Snows that far east in fall
migration. On Sunday I found a road killed Grey Partridge just east of
Comfrey in Brown County on County 20. Had Am. Pipits migrating over Red Rock
Prairie
in Cottonwood also on Sunday.
