Hi everyone, Andy Nyhus and I were heading south from Northfield after dropping off Gene Bauer at home, when we stopped at a pond along the west side of Hwy. 3 in an area known as Comus, to look through the geese. Here, we located 7 Greater White-fronted Geese mixed in with all of the Canadas and around 15 or so Cackling Geese. We were very surprised to see them at this date. Also of interest were approximately 7 LeConte's Sparrows at daybreak in the Rice County section of the Carleton Arboretum, known as the "Lower Arb." Good birding!
