Today Rick Hoyme and I birded Pope and Big Stone Counties. We refound =
the Avocets in Big Stone County in two places: 2 were at a pothole on =
the west side of Cnty. Rd. 61 just south of Hwy. 28, and 2 more were at =
the pothole about 1.5 miles west of Cnty. Rd. 61 on the north side of =
Cnty. Rd. 54.
In southern Pope County, we were searching for the previously reported =
Snowy Egrets. We looked at many potholes and marshes, but we never =
found them. This part of the county has many wetlands, and the egrets =
could have easily been at one we didn't check or couldn't get to. We =
searched the rookery on Lake Johanna for them without success, but did =
find quite a few Black-crowned Night-Herons roosting with the Great =
Egrets.
