During June 8 - 10, saw 3 species that seem to be outside of their range for this time of year: American White Pelican - 1 - Hennepin County, Lake Minnetonka (North Arm) Bufflehead - 1 male - Dakota County, small un-named lake in Eagan Ruddyduck - 2 males - Dakota County, small un-named lake in Eagan The range maps show that all 3 species should be in the Twin Cities during migration only. June 8th through 10th seems to be after migration has ended for these species. Or is this within the normal timeframe? Have others seen late migrants? Some other birds at the Eagan lake within the past week: Baby Wood Ducks - 14 Hooded Merganser Orchard Oriole Baltimore Oriole Yellow Warbler Common Yellowthroat Rose-breasted Grosbeak Spotted Sandpiper Sora (heard but not seen) Northern Flicker Eastern Kingbird Location of lake in Eagan: >From intersection of Lone Oak Rd and Ames Crossing Rd, go about 0.3 miles North on Ames Crossing Rd to a small un-named lake on the East side of Ames Crossing Rd.
