gail-thanks for that post!!! went there for first time sunday about
6pm-there were still 50 pelicans on the little land strip sitting and
preening and a few more swimming around the lake. got some pics of them and
a loon too as well as the cormorants although they were kinda small from the
vantage point I had, but still a great day in all-stayed until 8:30. my
best shot of the pelicans were those taken of the few that were around the
lake swimming because they were closer to shore than those on the land
strip.

Subject: [mou-net] Lake Vadnais today (Sunday, 7/11)
The pelicans are flying in to the west part of Lake Vadnais. There were
well over 100 and more coming in all the time. There are still a lot of
cormorants and we saw 7 trumpeter swans along the north end of the smaller
west lake. We did not see the loons today but saw quite a few great blue
herons, egrets and one green heron plus pied-billed grebes and the usual
ducks and geese. I looked for the black tern but did not see it today.
When we were there, the best place to view the pelicans was along Lake
Vadnais Blvd right off Rice Street but they are scattered all over the
west side lake. I don't know how long they will stay but it sure is fun to
watch them fly in!
