This morning there was a glorious sunrise at Lake Byllesby in Dakota County with a backdrop that would make any canvas
enviable. From 6:30 am - 7:00 there was a conservative estimate of still 300+ Greater White-fronted Geese at rest scattered
over the mudflats on the west end. There were still 2 Ross's Geese mixed in with the GWFG, Cackling Geese, and
a flock of about 35 Snow Geese that took off while I was there. Amazingly enough still more Greater White-fronted Geese
continued to funnel in and out the whole time as did the Ducks.
Taking the gravel roads back I did see a large flock of Lapland Longspurs swirling low over the roly ag fields, and hear
a Eastern Meadowlark singing.
