Hi Everyone I spent some time this morning looking at one of the Snowy’s in Ramsey. He was sitting on a pine tree near the cell tower. There were several of us there. I was hoping to see a horned lark like I did a few weeks ago up there but no luck. Next I went to the Coon Rapids Dam. ON the Brooklyn Park side I saw half a dozen common mergansers and a few goldeneye then I saw the Red Breasted Merganser. I was with Gary Swanson the naturalist at the CRD yesterday and we spotted him from the Coon Rapids side but the only place that you can see him from that side is down near the pavilion so today I wanted to get closer. I got several photos most of them kind of dark. One of the better photos is at this link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/12974000233/ I understand that someone actually reported seeing him a few weeks ago so he might stick around.
