The Great Horned Owl nest on 180th St. just east of Fisher Av. in Dakota
County has returned. Stop halfway down the hill by a small grouping of shrubs on
the left (north) side of 180th. Get the scope out to see the owl, but you
can see the nest with the naked eye. Looking across the field (again, to the
north of 180th) you'll see a 'cut' through two groups of trees. The nest is
in the left hand group of trees, towards the right edge. Last year mama had
two owlets. I'm anxious to see this year's babies!
We also stopped at the part of Spring Lake Park that's off Pine Bend Road and
hiked the trail marked 'Trail to the River' to look for early water bird
migrants. We were rewarded with nice looks at Redheads, Canvasback, a pair of
American Wigeons, a Northern Shoveler drake, Gadwall, Lesser Scaup and the usual
over-wintering ducks. No geese other than Canada.
We made a couple of passes along Dakota Cty. 42 north of Hwy 55 and saw
fields of fowl to feast upon, ... but no Gyrfalcon.
