Had a lovely day birding today.  Certainly couldn't have asked for nicer weather.
   
  Started out at Nine Mile Creek and saw:
   
  2 Eastern Kingbirds
  1 Belted Kingfisher
  1 Redbellied Woodpecker
  2 Coots
  1 Osprey
  Several Bluebirds
  Many Cardinals - male and female
  1 Turkey Vulture
   
  Later in the day went to Coon Rapids Damn
   
  East side:
   
  2 Cormorants
  1 Bald Eagle (mature)
  1 Osprey (flew directly over our heads - very cool)
   
  West side:
   
  2 Osprey (one on the nest, one near the nest, one was likely the one we saw on the east side)
  1 Northern Flicker
  Blue Heron Rookery (there appeared to be birds nesting in every nest we could see, also saw some flying in and out and some hanging out on trees nearby)
  1 Hairy Woodpecker
  2 Belted Kingfishers
  Several Wood ducks
  2 Turkey Vultures
   
  Good Birding!
