[mou] Osprey, CarverCo.

This morning while roaming around the Carver Park Reserve I saw that two Osprey had returned to their nesting platforms, one on Carver Park Rd, and one on Grimm Rd.  

I drove around many lakes in the County and their were still 16 species around on the lakes.  The Mayer Sewage Ponds on Co 30, had 20 Male Green-winged Teal, and that many Male Canvasback, as well as a nice variety.  There were 4 Wilson's Snipe probing on the muddy shoreline.  I enjoyed watching them preen which was no easy feat with that long-bill, they were quite the contortionist to reach those breast feathers.

In McLeod Co I pulled over next to a muddy wet field with both Teal, Shovlers, and Killdeer and I flushed up a Greater Yellowlegs that took off calling.
