Judy Chucker and I visited the south (boat launch) and north (cemetery) access points to Lake Byllesby. Saw many RING NECKED DUCKS, CANVASBACKS, a few BUFFLEHEAD, SHOVELER, GREEN-WINGED TEAL, maybe a few LESSER SCAUP and REDHEAD DUCKS. A small collection of RING-BILLED GULLS and a few TRUMPETER SWANS.
There was a lot of exposed mud but we only identified one LESSER YELLOWLEGS along with many KILLDEER. At Randolph Ind Park, there were BUFFLEHEAD and RING NECKED DUCKS, a few SHOVELERS and one PIED BILLED GREBE in the pond near the church. HORNED LARKS and E. MEADOWLARKS were singing in the grasses along with RWBB and BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS. The drainage pond at the end of Dresser Court had the best collection: both BLUE-WINGED and GREEN-WINGED TEAL, SHOVELERS, two LESSER YELLOWLEGS, three WILSON'S SNIPE, a few GADWALL and a muskrat. -- Claudia Egelhoff Minneapolis, MN 55405 ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
