[mou-net] Long-tailed Ducks Hennepin Co.

[Kenneth Larson]

Marsha Moreen and I found the 5 Long-tailed Ducks off the SE parking lot at Bde 
Maka Ska around 3 PM. Thank you to Conny Brunell and Jason Caddy for reporting 
these birds. Also on the lake were numerous Mallards, 75 Common Merganser, 
11Hooded Merganser, 62 Common Goldeneye, one Rudy Duck, one Lesser Scaup 
female, and one Northern Pintail male.

Re: [mou-net] 5 Long-tailed Ducks ~ Hennepin Co.

[Jason Caddy]

The LT Ducks are now on the SE portion of the center of the lake, best viewed 
from the south or SE corner of the lake and they are not associating with any 
other duck and diving constantly. I birded the lake at 8:00am fairly thoroughly 
and did not see the LT Ducks but the waterfowl are moving around a lot and may 
not have been there yet. There is also a Ruddy Duck and a Lesser Scaup on 
Calhoun and a Gadwall on Harriet. There were only about half as many birds on 
the lake at 12:30pm as what was there at 8:00am, so if you are planning on 
searching for the ducks sooner is probably better. Thanks Connie!

on Bde Maka Ska (Calhoun) mixed in with 180 Common Mergansers on the north

This is your monthly Explore Minnesota Birding Update.

Birding is probably the finest social distancing activity imaginable, and it
is ideal for physical and mental well-being - perfect for times such as
these.

Happy birding!



 


December Nature Notes


While December marks the end of the southbound migration, it is the
beginning of a special birding season when arctic birds arrive from the
north. Birds to watch for include boreal chickadees, evening grosbeaks, pine
grosbeaks, hoary redpolls, common redpolls, gray jays, red-bellied
woodpeckers, snow buntings, pine siskins, northern shrikes and red-breasted
nuthatches. Many of these have already arrived, and it appears there may be
an irruption of evening grosbeaks and pine siskins this year!

Another much-anticipated event is the arrival of northern owls rarely seen
in the U.S., including snowy, boreal, northern hawk and great gray. In
previous years, these owls have drawn birders from all over the world. The
Sax-Zim Bog
  in
northeastern Minnesota, an Audubon Important Area, is one of the best sites
to view boreal birds. If you want to experience the Sax-Zim Bog but you're
hesitant to head out on a chilly winter day, try birding vicariously with
Sparky at Virtually Live 12 Sax-Zim Birding
 .

December also offers us a chance to view vast numbers of North America's
largest waterfowl, the trumpeter swan. Once on the brink of extinction,
trumpeter swans have had a miraculous recove
