This afternoon there was a Golden-crowned Kinglet at Rapids Lake
MVNWR. While I didn't get out early to check on early morning
migration of Tundra Swans, I did find a total of 389 in 2 flooded
fields, 1 along cty. rd. 51(near 182nd St.) and the other along cty.
rd. 52. 15 flew in while I was observing along cty. rd 51. Also in
the flooded fields were some Lesser Scaup, a few Redhead, Mallard and
Canada Geese. Horned Lark were scattered along all the cty. roads. A
Bald Eagle was eating a meal on the remaining ice on Rapids Lake.
After he left some Crows and Ring-billed Gulls came in for the
scraps. A Red-tailed Hawk was chasing a 2nd Red-tailed that had a
rodent in its talons. A 3rd Red-tailed Hawk came and caught a vole in
the grass below. The female Northern Harrier was still hunting at
the refuge and a male was hunting along cty. rd. 52.
