In addition to the Snow Geese in Traverse and Lac Qui Parle we had large flocks to the east of state hwy 7 south of Beardsley in Big Stone County, and several smaller groups throughout the area. Traverse CR 9 was the only place that they were easy to observe as they fed in the fields. Ross' Goose - several seen with the flock of Snow Geese at Traverse CR 9. Greater White-fronted Goose - numerous throughout area with Snow Geese and Canada flocks (many Cackling Geese as well). Tundra Swan - approx. 300 throughout area, with the largest concentration by far (250 birds) in a field to the north of Traverse CR 76 1 mile west of Wheaton. Golden Eagle - 1 adult in Big Stone County west of state hwy 7 just south of CR 33. Eurasion Collared-Dove - 2 at the grain elevators in Wheaton, Traverse County.
