[mou-net] Plenty of late season waterfowl at Lake Vadnais
Lake Vadnais (Ramsey County), which is wide open, continues to provide excellent late season waterfowl viewing including: Trumpeter swans (Another flock flew in as I left and I believe they were also Trumpeters but could have been Tundra. They were too distant to see for positive ID) Ring neck ducks Canvasbacks Red breasted mergansers. Common goldeneye Mallards, Coot, and a solitary Hooded Merganser They were also gulls I did not ID, an immature Bald eagle, Crows, and I heard a very late season Kingfisher Keith Carlson, Roseville, MN Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
