I checked the Sleepy Eye WTP's after work this afternoon and there was a flock of about 900 Snow Geese spread out nicely along the eastern berm. I was able to find at least 3 Ross' Geese within the flock. I noticed that the Ross' seem to always be moving about in the flock because their larger cousins are pecking at them to get away.
I also saw my first male Yellow-headed Blackbird of the spring in a large mixed flock of Blackbirds and Grackles, also at the WTP's. Brian Smith Sleepy Eye ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
