Counted 18 very recently fledged WOOD DUCKS trailing adult female at water's edge on Red Rock Lake in Hennepin County this morning -- the tiny ducklings were a real "feel good" sight for my wife and I over breakfast. Thus far, other "known" nesters on north end of Red Rock Lake are: Eastern Phoebe (5 fledged Memorial Day under our porch) Tree Swallow Baltimore Oriole Catbird Song Sparrow Chipping Sparrow Marsh Wren Red-winged Blackbird Black-capped Chickadee House Finch Robin Grackle Canada Goose (oh, so many goslings) Nothing too exciting but other "Present & Probable" Nesters are: Barn Swallow Rough-winged Swallow Chimney Swift WB Nuthatch Cedar Waxwing Cardinal Red-eyed Vireo Goldfinch House Wren House Sparrow Blue Jay Downy Woodpecker Red-bellied Woodpecker Belted-Kingfisher Cowbird Eastern Kingbird Mallard Cooper's Hawk Present & "Possible" Nesters: Green Heron Black-crowned Night Heron (?) Female HOODED MERGANSER afloat off our property this morning -- she's been hanging around since we moved here 1st of May (from Chicago). For the birds, Don Darnell -- Eden Prairie/Hennepin ------=_NextPart_28715119623215341578 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII <HTML style="FONT-SIZE: x-small; FONT-FAMILY: MS Sans Serif"><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1251"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2873" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <P> <DIV>Counted 18 very recently fledged WOOD DUCKS trailing adult female at water's edge on Red Rock Lake in Hennepin County this morning</DIV> <DIV>-- the tiny ducklings were a real "feel good" sight for my wife and I over breakfast. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thus far, other "known" nesters on north end of Red Rock Lake are:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Eastern Phoebe (5 fledged Memorial Day under our porch)</DIV> <DIV>Tree Swallow</DIV> <DIV>Baltimore Oriole</DIV> <DIV>Catbird</DIV> <DIV>Song Sparrow</DIV> <DIV>Chipping Sparrow</DIV> <DIV>Marsh Wren</DIV> <DIV>Red-winged Blackbird</DIV> <DIV>Black-capped Chickadee</DIV> <DIV>House Finch</DIV> <DIV>Robin</DIV> <DIV>Grackle</DIV> <DIV>Canada Goose (oh, so many goslings)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Nothing too exciting but other "Present & Probable" Nesters are:</DIV> <DIV>Barn Swallow</DIV> <DIV>Rough-winged Swallow</DIV> <DIV>Chimney Swift</DIV> <DIV>WB Nuthatch</DIV> <DIV>Cedar Waxwing</DIV> <DIV>Cardinal</DIV> <DIV>Red-eyed Vireo</DIV> <DIV>Goldfinch</DIV> <DIV>House Wren</DIV> <DIV>House Sparrow</DIV> <DIV>Blue Jay</DIV> <DIV>Downy Woodpecker</DIV> <DIV>Red-bellied Woodpecker</DIV> <DIV>Belted-Kingfisher</DIV> <DIV>Cowbird </DIV> <DIV>Eastern Kingbird</DIV> <DIV>Mallard</DIV> <DIV>Cooper's Hawk</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Present & "Possible" Nesters:</DIV> <DIV>Green Heron</DIV> <DIV>Black-crowned Night Heron (?)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Female HOODED MERGANSER afloat off our property this morning -- she's been hanging around since we moved here 1st of May (from Chicago).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For the birds,</DIV> <DIV>Don Darnell -- Eden Prairie/Hennepin</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P></P></BODY></HTML> ------=_NextPart_28715119623215341578--
