Sorry about the late post but I noticed some of the sightings weren't posted yet by others.

 

Here are some of the highlights that I saw while biking yesterday in the Metro area:

 

Lake Calhoun:

Red-breasted Merganser pair

Bufflehead

3 Breeding plumage Horned Grebes

 

Lake Harreit:

Common Loon

 

Diamond Lake:

tons of Pied-billed Grebes

6 Swan Sp.- Too many to be Trumpeter? (Tundra?)

many Wood Ducks

 

Veterans Memorial Park in Richfield:

Northern Shoveler

Many Lesser Scaup

Blue-winged Teal

 

Old Cedar Ave. Bridge area:

Singing male Rusty Blackbird on the west edge of parking lot. This was the first time I have heard this species call and it caught my ear. It is fairly distinctive.

Common Merganser

Hooded Merganser

Trumpeter Swan pair

 

I love Spring Migration!
