Yesterday John Hockema found a Ross's Goose at the west side of Silver =
Lake in Rochester.
The bird is fairly active, it could be next to the parking lot or on the =
other side of the lake.
Also at Silver Lake over the past two days were Hooded Merganser, =
Redhead, Ring-necked Duck,
Lesser Scaup and Black Duck.
At the south Landfill Reservoir (14th St NW and 70th Av NW) have been at =
least 24 Greater White-fronted Geese.
A Snow Goose was seen Saturday.
Robins and Red-winged Blackbirds are showing up in flocks.
John saw Rusty Blackbirds and Snipe yesterday as well...
In Dodge county a landowner reported that the Snowy Owl was seen as =
recently as Thursday
but it was a couple miles north of where it had been reported, so don't =
just check 690th St in between
140th Av (county Rd Y) and 150th Avenue, give the whole area a good =
search. You might find
a Harrier or Northern Goshawk. Both have been seen here within the past =
week.
While roaming Saturday evening the area I saw an American Woodcock and a
red-phase Eastern Screech-owl.
Horned Larks are everywhere; onesies, twosies and flocksies...
