Early this morning while overcast and rainy there were many Greater White-fronted and Snow Geese in the fields of Dakota County. The heaviest concentration in one spot were in the flooded fields east of Randolph Boulevard across from the Great Western Industrial Park in Randolph. There were 400 + GWFG packed in at rest blending in with the fields and 65 SNGO that I could see as well as numerous ducks.
I heard 3 Western and 3 Eastern Meadowlarks singing inside the Great Western Industrial Park, and there were more Greater White-fronted and Cackling Geese in the Dressler Court pond. The frosting on the cake for me was when a covey of 6 Gray Partridge flushed from the grassy hillside as I drove by.
