[mou] no Long-tail Duck found-Stearns+

[Milton Blomberg]

Checked Albany wastewater ponds 3:30pm-no fortune finding the reported Long-tailed Duck from
Sunday aft.  SW pond completely skim-iced over, E pond open. Many NShovelers(1 Bald Eagle rising them all up), BWTeal, some Bonapartes,  some Bufflehead.
The North Lake (in Albany residential) had large #'s of L.Scaup, Coots, C.Geese and 15 Cackling Geese.  
Also, would like to report birding last Sat (8th) in a nasty N-NW wind up on Mille Lacs: 
3-Pacific Loons
several Common Loons
could not find a Rthroated Loon
Barrow's Goldeneye (on a boulder pile in Wigwam Bay, alone, but w/ Bonaparte Gulls).
Common Goldeneye-1 flock
hundreds of Bonaparte's working the inner bay surf lines.
lots of Common & Hooded Mergansers.
