[mou] birds and frogs

[Steve Weston]

Tonight (Wednesday) I ran my frog & toad route in the Frontenac/Lake City 
area of Goodhue Co.  I found northern leopard frogs and spring peepers in 
good numbers compared to previous years.  Western chorus frog numbers were 
way down.  The Whip-poor-wills have not yet returned to the valley where I 
have found them for the last five years.   There were at least four Sora 
Rails calling at Frontenac Lake.

Elsewhere in the Metro I am finding Turkey Vultures, Barn Swallows, and 
Chipping Sparrows.  I saw my first Lesser Yellowlegs of the season in a 
small pond in Medina at H. 55 and Willow.
