Saturday the 2nd I was delighted to have great looks at the 3 Gray-crowned Rosy-finches at the previously posted location. I saw them from about 1:10-1:25. A very nice gentleman who was working there came out to tell us that the birds had been around almost continuously all morning. It seems they hang around longer with fewer people coming and going from the business. I heard other reports of folks who successfully saw the birds after 2:00. Today, Sunday the 3rd, I chased over to Pt. Douglas Park, Washington Cty. While the White-winged Scoter was still around (at 1st mid-distance out, but near the MN shoreline, later flying in close to the land bridge but still hugging the MN shore), the Greater White-fronted Geese were nowhere to be found. The golden-eyes were too far out to sort out any possible Barrow's. I observed the WW Scoter (1st spotted by Doug K.) from about 2:30-3:15ish.
