Loons on Lake Byllesby, from the boat landing, southeast of Randoph. (From > Hwy 88, drive 1 mile south of Randoph on Hwy 56; turn east on Scotia Trail, > a gravel road. Follow the "Public Access" signs at the "T".) The lake was > still, like glass, quite a contrast from yesterday, and most of today. > > Also viewed from the boat ramp and further west, from the beach: small > flocks of Bufflehead, Lesser Scaup, Ruddy Duck, and 3 Pied-billed Grebes. At > least 80 White Pelicans were resting near the shore, west of the boat > landing, and small numbers of pelicans were scattered around that part of the > lake. > > At Lakeside Cemetery, I saw N. Shoveler, Bufflehead, 60 more W. Pelicans and > a small flock of Tree Sparrows on their way north. No shorebirds, though I > didn't check farther west. I also found an FOY Ruby-crowned Kinglet. In the > fields at the Industrial Park area north of Randoph, west of Hwy 56, were > both Western and Eastern Meadowlarks. I didn't find the Lapland Longspurs > there today, though they were present yesterday. > > Laura Coble > Cannon Falls, MN
