An adult Golden Eagle was at the Rapids Lake MVNWR this morning. When I first came upon him he was fairly low over the grassland of the refuge towards the hunters lot as you drive in towards the visitors center. He ascended following the grassland toward the northwest. I wonder if this is the same bird reported earlier in the week at Bass Ponds. Other birds of interest today were Harris's, Song, Swamp Sparrow, and a flock of around 60 Snow Geese that flew over Spring Peeper Meadow heading southwest. A Rough-legged Hawk was at Rapids Lake on Tuesday this week, and there were stlll some Bluebirds and an Orange-crowned Warbler at Carver Park on Thursday. Lake Waconia yesterday was emptier except for a couple Common Loon, some coot, a few distant duck, and scattered gulls on the center of the lake. _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: Unclutter your desktop. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9690331&ocid=PID24727::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WWL_WIN_evergreen:112009 ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
