Late this afternoon, Ron Erpelding and I stopped to check the
Mississippi River from South Side Park in Sauk Rapids near the Sauk
Rapids bridge.  Looking downriver, Ron spotted a female Long-tailed Duck
with a flock of Common Goldeneyes.  After a few minutes, the flock flew
downriver and out of sight.  Hopefully they didn't go far.  We're hoping
to look for the bird late tomorrow afternoon again.
