Today on a boat trip around Leech Lake I located a Long-tailed Duck approximately 3 miles north of Pelican Island. Photos of the bird can be seen at the following URL:

Also of note were my first Snow Buntings of the season on Pelican Island, a large mixed flock of around 200 Scaup, and I counted 114 Horned Grebes. -- Andrew Birch _________________________ Blackwater Cabins www.blackwatercabins.com
