This morning I took a quick drive around Staples Lake on the Barron/Polk
County Line. I first stopped to check out a Horned Grebe, and then noticed
a raft of ducks made up of Scaup and Redheads.
A little further out was a small group of dark ducks. I got out a
scope....4 SURF SCOTERS! I called my friend Nate Carlson who quickly went
out there an hour or so later. He confirmed the sighting and also saw 3
more! He got some nice pictures as they were closer to shore than when I
was there. He also said there were a few RUDDY DUCKS present.
Also present on the lake were Pied Billed Grebe, American Wigeon, Wood
Ducks, a female Canvasback (embarassing FOY) and 6 Trumpeter Swans. Great
day to be birding!
