[mou-net] One Eider present and a Harlequin and Kandiyohi Scoter update

Steve Gardner and I saw one Common Eider directly in front of the Essentia Health Building at 2:00. We also saw a juvenile Harlequin Duck. The Harlequin was last seen near the 21st Ave parking area. I also received word that the White-winged Scoter on Green Lake in Spicer was still present

it was a different bird. Great find Jeff! Maybe this is the tip of a Snowy Owl spear? Please keep me in the loop if you find these owls in the Meeker/Kandiyohi area.
