Am Coots

On State Bike/horseback/hiking Trail in Dellwood/Grant area:

Lots of Downy Woodpeckers
6 Dark-eyed Junco's
1 White-breasted Nuthatch
1 Golden Crowned Kinglet

On Centerville Rd between Centerville & White Bear TwnShip

100's of ducks in field (woodducks, scaups, and mallards) 90% Mallards
