On an early a.m. excursion, I saw 2 adult swans flying, and landing in a spring ephemeral pond approx. 1.5 miles north of the intersection of Lake Drive and Main Street/Hwy 14, west side of road, in SE Anoka Co. Also present, numerous Canada Geese and other waterfowl. No binoculars... They were still there about 10:00 a.m. when we drove back by...
Since there were only 2, I surmise that they are Trumpeter, since there are such that nest at nearby Carlos Avery and other sites in the area, and have heard no reports of Tundra overhead, plus there would be a whole flock if Tundra. Size hard to discern, but these looked approx. twice the size of nearby c. geese... Holly Peirson Columbus, SE Anoka Co. PS: Friday mid-day: Dark Morph Rough-legged Hawk seen on west side of I-35 just north of Pine City, approx. mile marker 173. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
