Kirk, actually the swamp to the north of the lake, on your right as you come down from Cedar Ave, seems to be the best spot that I have found to get some close up looks. It is actually part of Fort Snelling State Park. I hope that helps.
We found a dead American Coot on our afternoon walk yesterday. Nowhere near any water and with some sort of abdominal injury. I was sorry to see it dead, but it gave me a good chance to examine this little bird up close. It's legs and feet were especially interesting to see.

Beautiful birds- I especially like that redhead.
Lynn, I wonder why you like the redheads? LOL
Where at black dog to you find you get the best views? It's a big place.

Well Ruthie even though coots look like ducks they aare actually in the rail family which is why they have toes instead of webbed feet.
