1/1/2011 Birded in Scott county this morning and part of the afternoon. Did not turn up anything to unusual, but did get to see a lot of waterfowl.
Here are some of the species of birds I observed today: Wilkie Unit & Blue Lake Water Treatment Plant. Trumpeter Swan Gadwall Canvasback Redhead Ring-necked Duck Lesser Scaup Hooded Merganser Missed on Common Merganser, which were observed by several other birders that I talked with there. American Coot Lapland Longspurs - just West of Highway 169, along Highway 101 - Thanks to Joel Claus for letting me know about these birds. Mill pond in Veterans Park in Shakopee Bufflehead American Black Duck Savage - Schroeder Park? One access to this park is from the intersection of Flag Avenue and 124th Street and there is a large pond with open water there. Wood Duck - Male and Female Craig Mandel Hennepin County [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
