Saw a flock of about 30 hooded mergansers with males crowns in full display on the open water on what I believe is called Spoon Lake, the widening of the channel between Lake Gervais and Keller Lake just north of Hwy 36.
Given the amount of Red Wing Blackbirds I saw before this week's cold, can anybody tell me where they went? I hiked Oakdale Nature Area this afternoon with marsh habitat and lots of frozen vernal ponds that had to have been open before Tuesday evening's snow . I did not hear or see a one in what should have been ideal habitat.
