Approx. 500 Tundra Swans seen feeding yesterday p.m. in small lake north side
of Highway 212, approx mile marker 111. This is perhaps 45 minutes west of Eden
Prairie. Distance from road 300-400 feet. Traffic on 212 is heavy.

I saw a flock of over 100 Tundra Swans this afternoon. Flying south towards the
Mississippi. With this cold snap I'm guessing Alma Wisconsin should have
increased numbers.

There were 500-600 +/- Tundra Swans along Hwy 26 south
of Brownsville, MN yesterday, Oct. 23. View from new
viewing area still under construction along Hwy 26.
The highway construction at the only stoplight in
LaCrescent will take minutes to drive through,
especially during rush hours, even in LaC
Still thousands of TUSW viewable near The Shellhorn
bar & grill, and south on Hwy 26 at Mile Marker 11,
and further, 1.3 miles to the old viewing platform.
Other viewing sites on your own, but be careful of
traffic. Bald Eagles also abundant, as well as puddle
ducks, and rafts of divers mixed with
10,000s stretched from just south of Brownsville past
the new viewing area under construction, past the old
current deck, and on south toward Dike 8 of the
Mississippi R. Fred Lesher, LaCrosse, Wis.

This afternoon, 45 Tundra Swans flew over our home on
French Island at the NW end of LaCrosse. Technically
they were in Wisconsin, flying south over Pool 7 into
Pool 8, where they would likely land to feed
mid-river, mostly in Wisconsin. Fred Lesher, LaCrosse, Wis.
I just observed a flock of about 50 Tundra Swans flying over campus here at
Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. A beautiful sight to behold and a
welcome sign of spring!

This is a weekend to visit Pool 8 in Minn. or Wis. if
you want to see large numbers of TUSWs. From Co.Hwy.

to the Minn. shore. View from near The Shellhorn

There were about 40 tundra swans in the Minnesota River back waters of Fisher

Tundra Swans in a perfect V flew over our home in the
Mac-Groveland neighborhood of St. Paul. The V was
about 300 yards from side to side and the birds
chattered continually as they flew past in the dark,

While driving home from work today I 'looped' the city lakes and found 47
tundra swans on Lake Calhoun and 49 on Lake Harriet... mostly adults, but
some first-year birds. The gulls were most active but with my compact
binocs and the sleet coming down it was difficult to ID any. One very large,
3 separate barking flocks of Tundra Swans heard in Minneapolis tonight.
All going toward Wabasha.

Had my first Tundra Swans (5 of 'em) of the fall Monday Evening at Weaver
Bottoms. Also gobs of dabbling ducks - yet to see many divers down here in
SE.
A buzz through Whitewater turned up several bluebird flocks, lots of
Kinglets, 1 Field Sparrow, and lots of White-throated Sparrows.
