Yesterday and today (6/28) Rick Hoyme and I birded Becker and Clay =
County. We spent Friday afternoon and this morning in Becker, and this =
afternoon in Clay. =20
Yesterday afternoon, we saw the Common Moorhen at Hamden Slough NWR. It =
seems to stay close to the vegetation on the SE corner of the pond. The =
other interesting birds from Hamden Slough were 3 Greater Yellowlegs at =
the wetland just north of the moorhen pond on the west side of the road. =
Could these birds be nesting?
This morning we had good birding in Tamarac NWR. We found 11 species of =
warbler including: Golden-winged, Nashville, Northern Parula, Yellow, =
Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, Pine, =
Black-and-white, American Redstart, and Common Yellowthroat. We found a =
pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers along the auto-tour road south of the =
nature center, and a Red-breasted Nuthatch behind the nature center. =
LeConte's Sparrows were singing in almost every field we visited.
This afternoon we birded Felton Prairie in Clay County. Here we found: =
Orchard Oriole, Western Kingbird, Chestnut-collared Longspur, Upland =
Sandpiper, and Loggerhead Shrikes.
Good birding!
