A Short-eared Owl was perched in a marshy area north of Hwy 5. just west of the
turnoff to Lake Waconia beach. This is the same area that I saw a Long-eared
Owl perched a couple months ago. I also found an adult Thayer's Gull at Carver
Park. He was on the lake that is north of the nature center. He was kind
enough to stand out of the water showing his bright pink legs and then swim
beside a Ring-billed to give a size comparison. Other birds of interest today
were 43 Tundra Swans at Rapids Lake MVNWR, 8 Common Loons on Lake Waconia(I've
never seen a Pacific Loon, so I'm no expert. I am fairly sure they were all
Common. A couple were a bit distant, so I can't be sure.), 2 Pied-billed
Grebes at Carver Park, a Yellow-rumped Warbler at Carver Park, and 16 Purple
Finches at Rapids Lake MVNWR.
