Walking with my pooches in Hagemeister Pond which is at 6427 41st Avenue North in Crystal, we found some pretty cool birds in this small neighborhood preserve. Highlights were 2 new neighborhood birds: Golden-crowned Kinglet near gazebo and a very cooperative Winter Wren at east end of floating boardwalk. My e-bird report follows.
