I birded in Chisago, Isanti and Anoka counties today, mainly at Carlos
Avery WMA in Anoka Co. and the Carlos Avery Sunrise Unit in Chisago Co.

Highlights included an Osprey, American White Pelicans, 6 Horned Grebes, 8
Common Loons and a variety of waterfowl (including 3 Northern Pintails
...a new county bird for me) at Carlos Avery Sunrise Unit, and large
numbers of Green-winged Teal (43 on one pool alone) and Wilson's Snipe (45
on one mudflat) at Carlos Avery WMA in Anoka Co.  This was between 9:30
and 11:30 am.

By the time I got home around 4:00 pm, I had seen 72 species for the day!
