This morning I encountered a pair of Eurasian Collared-Doves in Traverse Co=
unty at the boat ramp on Lake Traverse that is by the town shown on my DeLo=
rme as Dakomin(I didn't see much evidnece of a town there).  This is off Hw=
y 27 across the road from Co. Rd. 3.  One of the birds was very coooperativ=
e and called several times when I first arrived.
Yesterday I encountered a pair of flickers along Co. Rd. 4 west of Hwy 29 i=
n the afternoon.  One was Yellow-shafted and the other Red-shafted, presuma=
bly a hybrid but I only saw the bird flying away so could not be certain. =
=20
I found large mixed flocks of geese in Grant County(Big Lake just east of H=
erman), Traverse County(at the same boat ramp by Dakomin), Swift County(Gri=
ffin Lake in the far NW corner) and Kandiyohi County(Lake Lillian). =20
Also yesterday there were 12 Bald Eagles hanging out just north of the town=
 of St. Rosa in Stearns County which seemed like an odd place to congregate=
. =20
