[mou-net] Hooded mergansers and where did RWB's go

2022-03-31 Thread Keith Carlson 
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.
