This morning (20th) I braved the howling gale and found 22 species of waterfowl at 3 sites in Dakota County: 1) Spring Lake Reg. Park, 2) Goodwin Ave and CR 47, and 3) Lake Byllesby. Some of the most interesting:
Goodwin-CR47: Ross's Goose - 2; Snow's - 25; Greater White-fronts - 20, Tundra Swans - 7
Spring Lake: Greater Scaup - 1; Lesser Scaup - 400
Lake Byllesby: Blue-winged Teal - Pair
I also photographed an exceptionally early Dunlin at the west end of Lake Byllesby. This basic plumaged bird was feeding close to Killdeer, of which there were several present.
