Hello! We went for a drive along the Wildlife Drive in Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge on Friday. Here is what we saw:
Two Eagle Nests - The Stickney Pool Nest and another across either Bergerson Pool or the School House Pool Trumpeter Swans Canadian Geese Tree Swallows Indigo Bunting Ring-necked Duck Question: Out in the middle of the Nelson Pool between mile marker's 4 and 5 there was an all black duck perched on a tree. When I zoom in on the pictures I took the picture gets distorted. But based on the shape of the beak and body it seems to be a Black Scooter. Can anyone else verify this duck being in the area? Or tell me if I have identified it incorrectly? Be happy to forward my pictures but again they are not clear. Also zooming in on pictures once I was home and had uploaded them, I realized I took a picture of one of the adult eagles and an eaglet! in the Stickney Pool nest. Again the picture gets blurry but I didn't even realized the little guy was there until I zoomed in! :) Also enjoy the antics of the sunbathing turtles and a grooming Muskrat. :) Happy travels!
