[Mnbird] Whitewater update

[Carol]

At Whitewater today the ducks were very skittish, nothing unusual.   When first entering from Weaver, Wild Turkeys were as close to lekking as it gets:  6 males in full regalia and 33 others. 
Two Trumpeter Swans were in the first ponds.  Road closed signs are up -:).  

Near the Beaver Cemetery there was a flock of juncos with way too much red among them....a mixed flock including singing Fox Sparrows.  In the same area...were a pair of unpainted silent Sandhill Cranes , Belted Kingfisher, and E. Phoebe. At the Park HQ there were still Purple Finch, a poorly marked White-throated Sparrow, and one Fox Sparrow among local suspects.  
No Peregrine seen today.
