On Sunday, 4/15, I drove on the west side of Lake Calhoun in Mpls. There were 3 - 4 dozen horned grebes spread out on the surface of the lake. There was also a common loon on the lake. This may have been the same bird previously reported on Lake of the Isles. There were also 5 pair of lesser scaup in the SW "corner" of the lake near a flock of 2 dozen coots. I then drove to Grass Lake in south Mpls. There were 10 -12 great egrets spread along the shore of the lake There were 2 great blue herons and on kingfisher There were several northern shovelers. There were at least 3 pair of hooded mergansers. I saw one hen fly into one of several "wood duck" houses that are placed around the lake. Tony Smith Saint Louis Park, MN
