[mou] Prairie Warbler in Scott Co, at Murphy-Hanrehan

[Conny Brunell]

Last night Susan Schumacher, Leslie Marcus and I went out to Murphy- Hanrehan to see the Prairie Warbler found and posted by Bill Stauffer.  His directions led us right to the male Prairie Warbler who was singing his rising, buzzy song loudly from the roadside when we arrived at 6:15.  He was in and out on tree limbs flicking that long tail about 25 feet up.  What a beautiful Warbler, Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve has provided us with a good variety of Warblers this Spring, Thanks Bill for spotting this one!

One note of interest if your going my usual way of I 35W South to Dakota Co 42 West there is a detour on Scott Co 27 on 150th St just 4 blocks from the usual 154th St east turn off for Murphy.  Instead  from Co 42 turn South, Left at the Burnsville Pkwy and that takes you in on Hanrehan Lake Blvd where you can make a Left onto Scott 75 to the Park Entrance.
