Hello Birders, Tonight I saw no less than 9 C. Loons in the metro between 5:30 and 6:30 (not on the highways!) Pickerel Lake (Lilydale Rd. extreme northern Dakota Cty) Common Loon - first of year Red-breasted Merganser - first of year they were cooperative enough to end up in the same field of view in my scope! McCarrons Lake: C. Loon (#2) R.B gulls Unnamed Lake1: (Wewer Dr. and Rice St.) more like a deep pond Buffleheads - 5-6 actively feeding Wood ducks Unnamed Lake2 - Behind the Black Tern office complex just S. of 694, E. of Rice Wood ducks Buffleheads Vadnais Lake: C. Loon #3 - 9 scattered about, one pair huddled together Red -necked Grebe -first of year. Thanks Gail Wieberdink! C. Goldeneye - first of year (I couldn't get out much 1Q) about 12 hanging out with the grebe and a pair of Ring-necked duck - pair Bald Eagle - mature G.B. Heron sparrows along road I could not ID before they ditched in the underbrush - probably song -- Sincerely, Jim Ryan 651-308-0234 cell "A man who dares to waste an hour of time has not discovered the value of life." - Charles Darwin ------=_Part_125_13460431.1176250728857 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hello Birders,<br>Tonight I saw no less than 9 C.
