The Long-tailed Duck on Lake Vadnais was seen in the SE part of the lake by another birder shortly before we entered the causeway road around 2:15. However, we noticed some Golden-eyes flying north on the east side of the lake, and thought to check and see if the LTDU was among them. Apparently so; it appeared on the northwest side of the lake shortly thereafter, giving good looks from the causeway. It was still there when we departed for our walk at 3:30. Also present on the lake with the many Ring-necked Ducks and some Scaup, were at least 5 Redheads, a pair of Canvasbacks, and a pair of Trumpeter Swans. A young loon put in one very brief appearance and was not seen again. Linda Whyte
