I spent the morning on a photograpy "expedition" to Gem Lake in White Bear Lake this morning. I was photgraphing a loon and a bird I'd never seen before popped up between the loon and me, from the body shape I figured it was a grebe of some sort.? Indeed it was, it was a Horned Grebe, a first for me.? then two more flew in later. They were still there when I left at 10:30AM this morning.? I will be going back earlier this afternoon whent the sun is better for photographing.
So here the rundown: Great Egrets - 40+ L. Scaups - 10 Buffleheads - 15 - 20 Pair Mallards - Many Great Blue Herons - 3 Common Loons - 28+ (Close to shore, very active, and love to pose. it was amazing listening to their songs and watching them do their thing.) Horned Grebe - 3 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://moumn.org/pipermail/mou-net_moumn.org/attachments/20080413/3de1c06f/attachment.html
