This morning provided two suprises at Carver Park Reserve. My biggest being a
flock of 9 Tundra Swans flying fairly low over an area near King Blind. The
only other group flyby, besides geese, was a flock of around 25 Cormorant.
The second surprise was an early Golden-crowned Kinglet near the Tamarack Bog.
Other than that it was pretty much what you would expect: Kildeer, Bluebird,
Junco, Song Sparrow, Grackle, and Red-winged Blackbird. The only raptor I saw
was a Turkey Vulture. There was very little open water at Carver Park. I
did find a Hooded Merganser on a small pond in Chaska, though. Most of the
trails at Carver Park are covered with a crusty snow, so expect to make quite a
bit of noise when you walk. Here's to warmer weather and a faster thaw.
