Counted 18 very recently fledged WOOD DUCKS trailing adult female at water's edge on Red Rock Lake in Hennepin County this morning
-- the tiny ducklings were a real "feel good" sight for my wife and I over breakfast.
Thus far, other "known" nesters on north end of Red Rock Lake are:
Eastern Phoebe (5 fledged Memorial Day under our porch)
Tree Swallow
Baltimore Oriole
Catbird
Song Sparrow
Chipping Sparrow
Marsh Wren
Red-winged Blackbird
Black-capped Chickadee
House Finch
Robin
Grackle
Canada Goose (oh, so many goslings)
Nothing too exciting but other "Present & Probable" Nesters are:
Barn Swallow
Rough-winged Swallow
Chimney Swift
WB Nuthatch
Cedar Waxwing
Cardinal
Red-eyed Vireo
Goldfinch
House Wren
House Sparrow
Blue Jay
Downy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Belted-Kingfisher
Cowbird
Eastern Kingbird
Mallard
Cooper's Hawk
Present & "Possible" Nesters:
Green Heron
Black-crowned Night Heron (?)
Female HOODED MERGANSER afloat off our property this morning -- she's been hanging around since we moved here 1st of May (from Chicago).
For the birds,
Don Darnell -- Eden Prairie/Hennepin
