[mou] Tundra Swans, waterfowl, Pool 8, Miss. R. mostly in WI.

[fred lesher]

Tundra Swan numbers have increased between the
Shellhorn Bar & Grill south of LaCrescent,MN on Hwy 26
and the deck near Mile Marker 9. I estimate 8-10,000.
This is from Houston Co, but most of the birds are in
Vernon Co. WI. 

In addition, there are uncountable rafts of ducks in
the center of the pool. They are mostly Canvasbacks.
Waterfowl in addition to the swans are in the 10,000s.

There were 3 Horned Grebes today.

Most of these birds are in WI, but are best viewed
from MN. The state line follows the old river channel
yards from the MN shore, and bends SE near the south
end of the pool. Only the extreme SW corner of Pool 8
is in MN, plus a creek delta midway between
Brownsville & Reno.
