Hello Birders,
Tonight I saw no less than 9 C. Loons in the metro between 5:30 and 6:30
(not on the highways!)

Pickerel Lake (Lilydale Rd. extreme northern Dakota Cty)
Common Loon - first of year
Red-breasted Merganser - first of year
they were cooperative enough to end up in the same field of view in my
scope!


McCarrons Lake:
C. Loon (#2)
R.B gulls

Unnamed Lake1: (Wewer Dr. and Rice St.) more like a deep pond
Buffleheads - 5-6 actively feeding
Wood ducks

Unnamed Lake2 - Behind the Black Tern office complex just S. of 694, E. of
Rice
Wood ducks
Buffleheads

Vadnais Lake:
C. Loon #3 - 9 scattered about, one pair huddled together
Red -necked Grebe -first of year.  Thanks Gail Wieberdink!
C. Goldeneye - first of year  (I couldn't get out much 1Q) about 12 hanging
out with the grebe and a pair of
Ring-necked duck - pair
Bald Eagle - mature
G.B. Heron
sparrows along road I could not ID before they ditched in the underbrush -
probably song

Sincerely,
