Hi,
I spent half a day birding Brown county for early spring migrants and =
found:
Ross's Goose - two birds in a larger flock of Canada Geese on Clear =
Lake, 4 miles SW of New Ulm. Surprisingly, one of the birds had a neck =
band (leg, too) on it. If I hear anything back from the USGS about this =
individual, I'll report back about when and where it was banded. =20
American Black Duck - two birds on the western end of Lake Hanska. This =
species is rare out this way and its a new one for my Brown county list. =
About 60 Great White-fronted Geese were also at this location, along =
with many Canada Geese. Also seen were Hooded Mergansers and Lesser =
Scaup.
Great Blue Heron - found on the spillway below the dam on the south end =
of Lake Hanska.
Good Birding,
Brian Smith
