After several weeks of my annual daily Grebe counts in Hennepin County on Minneapolis Lakes Harriet & Calhoun and observing strong numbers migrating through I hit my highest total this morning of 1660 Horned Grebes counted on these 2 lakes. It was a warm 50 degrees, calm, partially sunny pleasant morning with also Red-necked and Eared Grebes (Harriet) observed in the mix. Still 14 species of Ducks in good numbers, Bonaparte's, and Franklin's Gulls, and Forster's Tern with a pair of Spotted Sandpipers that flew through my field of view. A great morning to be out scoping the lakes that actually felt like Spring had finally arrived here, its hard to go inside with the Warblers arriving here in the Metro!
