The Winter Season 1 December 2012 through 28 February 2013

摘要

One Snow Goose was reported in midwinter at Monticello in Wright County; no other goose species except Canada were known to have overwintered. Five Cackling Geese in Olmsted in mid-February were presumed very early returning migrants and by the end of the month small numbers were found in Nobles and Martin. Up to three Mute Swans reported from Goodhue in midwinter probably originated from the Treasure Island Casino, but the sources of single individuals in Scott and Dakota were undetermined.
