Birding the morning with Jim Peterson. Notable sightings; following up on a call from John Hokema from the previous day we relocated the 2 Ross's Geese and a large flock of White-fronted Geese at the Kalmar Reservoir west of Rochester. Soon they were harassed out of the water by a Bald Eagle, they landed in a field south of the reservoir. Also found 4 Horned Grebes at the small reservoir south of the landfill. Later we located an early Winter Wren at the Izaak Walton wetlands. Driving to Lake Louise State Park we found a Loggerhead Shrike actively hunting the grassy roadside from some small trees at the intersection of Hwy's 63 and 56. Lake Louise itself was not very birdy today. -jerry pruett
