[mou] Harlequin Duck Update/Otter Tail Co.

[Dan & Sandy Thimgan]

The pair of Harlequin Ducks found in Fergus Falls along the Otter Tail River
were seen both in the morning and in the evening today (1/12).

At least two observers saw them this morning around 8:00am.  This evening
they flew in from the east at 4:45 pm, and they were still there when we
left 25 minutes later.

The preferred viewing spot (at least in the evening) is on the north side of
the river.  From Lincoln Ave turn south on Broadway and go straight ahead
for 1 and half blocks where the street dead-ends.  Park and walk straight
ahead.  Steve Millard even helpfully shoveled a rudimentary path through the
snow.  There's some Minnesota nice for you!
