Hi everyone, I found another Ross' Goose today in Rice County. This time, it was a single bird on Sakatah Lake, which is in western Rice Co. There is open water here where CR 99 crosses between Upper and Lower Sakatah Lake. I'm not sure if this could be the same bird seen by me in Faribault on 3/26.
I also found a large flock of Greater White-fronted Geese, probably between 120 - 150 in Waseca County. These were in a wetland on the east side of CR 10, NE of the town of Waseca. This wetland is totally open and it was PACKED with a large variety of waterfowl. There was a single Blue-phase Snow Goose present as well as a Wilson's Snipe. Six FOY's today= Bufflehead Cooper's Hawk Snow Goose Wilson's Snipe Belted Kingfisher & Brown-headed Cowbird. Good birding, Dave Bartkey Faribault, MN screechowl at charter.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
