Monday morning I drove Black Dog Road in Burnsville and found 13 species of waterfowl including FOY No. Shoveler, Canvasback, Pied-billed Grebe, Gadwell, Ring-neck Duck. There were large flocks of Wood Ducks (mostly in pairs), Hooded Mergansers, and scaup. There was a large raft of mixed divers that were too far for my binoculars to accurately survey. I also found a cormorant and a Turkey Vulture. Red-winged Blackbirds were on territory. I counted six at one small marsh by Hwy 280 in St. Paul. Just north of 280 in Roseville I heard my first Killdeer. I also found Grackles in several locations, large flocks of Juncos everywhere, and a Fox Sparrow near Acacia Cemetery in Mendota Heights.
