Directions: From U.S. Highway 71 in Redwood Falls take Highway 101 =
north (Hwy 101 takes you to North Redwood.) Park along highway 101 =
(with the airport to your right/east) between the Highway101/Ponderosa =
street signs and the ActiveAid sign. The bird is located in the brome =
grass field approximately 200 yards west of the highway. Note: The bird =
is not in the weedy/dried grass field adjacent to the brome grass field =
on the north. The bird appears to be on territory since it was singing =
