A drive through various areas of the county produced the following birds of interest (to me): An early, single Sandhill Crane migrating with 7 Canada Geese, flying over the Eagan Rosemount border. A Barred Owl sitting in a sunny location along the southern edge of Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Eastern Bluebirds in 2 locations. Lake Byllesby was 95%+ frozen over, but still attracting geese. Hundreds of Canadas, 9 Cackling Geese and 6 Greater White-fronts. Very few ducks. One vocal Killdeer, but I could never find find it. Also, 2 migrant Herring Gulls. And lastly, a Red-shouldered Hawk flying over the old town in Hastings, being harassed by a crow. Have seen another recently near Black Dog Lake.
