In addition to yesterday's very early Am Avocet and Marbled Godwits in Lac Qui Parle and Big Stone Co's and today's Mountain Bluebird in Stevens Co (already reported on MOU-net), the Minn Birding Weekends group had 2 other sightings of note today, April 10. - An early Cattle Egret near Herman along the W side of Grant CR 7, 1.2 mi S of Hwy 27. (This was near the site of yesterday's Brant sighting; neither the Brant nor yesterday's Cinnamon Teal NE of Herman could be relocated today.) - A minimum of 3,400 Tundra Swans counted/estimated in a single flooded field just N of Wheaton along Hwy 75; another 1,000+ were also seen by our group ~5 mi NE of here along Traverse CR 14, for a total of ~4,500 individuals.
