[mou] Surf Scoter and Ross's Goose, Stearns Co.

[Chu, Philip]

Yesterday, for the second weekend in a row, there was a Surf Scoter in
Stearns Co. - this time at the Paynesville sewage ponds, and, specifically,
at the north-most pond in the sewage-pond complex.  The scoter was a
first-fall bird.

Also at the Paynesville sewage ponds were a first-fall Ross's Goose and 51
individuals of nine shorebird species.  All of the shorebirds were in the
basin on the south side of the south-most sewage pond.
