The Ross's Goose was still at L. Hiawatha this morning at 0800. It was 
feeding with a large flock of Canada Geese on the NE side of the lake, 
on the golf course fairway.

You can enter this area of the golf course  through the fence just 
behind the ice rink.

Also of interest spotted this am:

1 adult bald eagle on golf course side of lake (have seen a bald eagle 
here 3x over the past couple of weeks. Sometimes it flies out and 
harasses the rafts of geese. Whenever it approaches, they tighten their 
raft and flap their wings as it attacks)

5 mergansers (common?) in middle of lake

1 northern harrier

Hiawatha?

Thanks!
