I birded Lake Calhoun with Fred Smith from 2-3 p.m. Surprisingly, most of the lake was open, as yesterday afternoon it was 2/3 frozen with skim ice. Birds present: Canada goose (maybe 200), 4 cackling geese (had to be more), mallards, wigeon (1), canvasback (1), black scoter (1), common golden eye (many), common merganser (many more), hooded merganser (lots), American coot. Few gulls, but this was before their normal roosting time. Lake Harriet had very few birds on it. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
