White-fronted Geese on Lake Byllesby. They were with Canada Geese and Mallards at the far northwest end of the lake. There is a Dakota Cty Park entrance about a 1/4 mile east of the Hwy 56/88 intersection, accessed from a pull-off on the south side of 88. It's possible to park a few cars on the pull-off, but park on the shoulder of 88 if it's too wet. Walk the trail on the other side of the gate to an open area, bearing down a hill to your right to find an opening to the lake. You can also go through a wooded area to your left to get to the edge of the lake. I scoped from the beach, and found the geese in the farthest northwest corner. I also saw 3 Green-winged Teal close to shore at this location. There is a little open water close to the beach off Lakeside Cemetery, east of this spot, but most of the waterfowl were at the west end this morning.
