[mou] [Itasca Birding] Waterfowl in Itasca County

[shawn conrad]

I had to pass through Cohasset today, so I stopped at the access on the river and saw the following species:
 
American Black Duck (2)
Mallard
Common Goldeneye
Ring-necked Duck
Lesser Scaup
 
Also, I have started my Northern Goshawk territory surveys.  I sign a form stating that I won't disclose the data, but I can say that I did have a goshawk detection this morning in Cass County.  While surveying another territory in Itasca yesterday, I heard a Brown Creeper and had a single Bohemian Waxwing fly over as well as a few redpolls.  There are many Bald Eagles showing up along Hwy 2 as well as several flocks of Blue Jays.  Bring on the migration!    Shawn Conradhttp://users.2z.net/itasca_chippewa_birding/

This morning I checked the open water in Cohasset near the power plant.  I found Common Goldeneye, Common Merganser, 2 Trumpeter Swans, and a Pied-billed Grebe.
