Hi
At the risk of posting too often to this site I want to say that I went to the Anoka Dam this morning hoping to see the Mottled duck that was reported. There were a number of birders that I saw but no one that I know of saw the mottled duck but I was delighted to see two black Ducks and when a man on the west side of the river started feeding the ducks in a parking lot i walked over and got a close look and photos of a green winged teal. Later I saw the teal in the river as well.  So even though I never got the Mottled Duck it was worth the trip.  Here is my flickr link to a couple of photos
