[mou] [mnbird] Birding Dakota County

[Sharon Stiteler]

Out with Val Cunningham today and found the following in Dakota County:

140th Street Marsh area:

rusty blackbirds
American wigeon
lesser scaup
ring-neck duck
shovelers
red-heads
grenn-winged teal

210th Street Empire Station

western meadowlark
gray partridge
vesper sparrow

Also of note (at least to us) was a huge movement of pelicans.  At one point
people were pulling over asking us what the large white birds were.  We told
one old dude at least seven times that they were pelicans.  I'm not sure if
he was hard of hearing or just didn't believe us.
