On Thursday I had a Eurasian Collared Dove drinking water off the pavement at the public landing at Osakis, MN. I had stopped looking for them a couple of years when they turned up in Kensington, but there it was! Lake Osakis was 99% iced on Thursday and it was 20 degrees or so Thursday night, but somehow the SW bay (off Douglas 10) had opened up and many variety of waterfowl were present. Between that and Swim Lake (south of the water treatment facility) most waterfowl were present though I couldn't get an ID on the Scaup (sp.). Also had a Merlin, C. Grackle, Fox and Song Sp., Bluebirds, Flickers, many Robins, Juncoes and Am. Tree Sp. The Heron Rookery off of 94 on Doug 3 was active, but overall it was still fairly slow. John Ellis-St Paul
