I was driving between Hinckley and St. Cloud today and saw a beautifully colored rough-legged hawk about 2 miles west of Quamba on Hwy. 23.
One mile west of the junction of Hwy. 65 and 23 (top of Kanabec CR 14 - Fish Lake Road) on the north side of the road, there are areas of sheet water in the pasture/prairie/field. It was FULL of tundra swans and Canada geese. I've seen swans, geese and ducks in this area in previous years, and I suspect it may be a great waterfowl spot in another week or so, when there's more open water and less snow and ice. If you're heading north along Hwy. 65, take a mile detour and check it out!
