Had a good mix of winter migrants and spring migrants, including Pine Siskin, Purple Finch and a flock of about 2837 Lapland Longspurs (kidding but seriously a HUGE flock swirling around.) More interesting were waterfowl. Lake Jennie opened up on the south end and today had 345 Tundra Swans, 55 or so White Fronted Geese and many ducks, including Coot, Redhead, Canvasback, Common and Hooded Mergs, Ringnecks, Buffleheads, GW and BW Teal, Shovelers, Gadwall, Am Wigeon, Wood Duck and possibly more. I did not note any Scaup in the county. I Had Song Sp, many Tree Sp and Juncos but no other Sparrows. Also had N. Flicker, Mourning Dove, Kingfisher, many Killdeer, at least one Woodcock, one Snipe and only one Greater Yellowlegs. Also at other sites had two Snow Geese and several Cackling Geese. Lake Osakis was ice but should go in the next day or two I would think. John Ellis-St. Paul
