It was a sunny, warm, balmy day and the birding was really good for new arrivals.
At the St. Peter Waste Water Treatment Plant in LeSueur County there were:
Greater White-fronted Geese ~ 34
Snow Geese ~ 3
Cackling Geese ~ 12
Northern Pintails ~ 12 males
Killdeer ~ several flying back and forth calling
Canada Geese easily up in the thousand range they were knee deep out there everywhere.
Also of note in southern Brown County the Blackbirds have returned in full force with large
mixed flocks. I saw and heard several Rusty Blackbirds vocalize, many, many Common
Grackles, Yes, the dreaded Brown-headed Cowbirds were with them in the open fields,
as well as many Killdeer calling.
