While leading a group in SE, Minnesota over the weekend we observed a number
of interesting species. We relocated the Louisiana Waterthrush at Beaver
Creek Valley State Park, the Henslow's Sparrows at Great River Bluff''s State
Park, which were not singing in the wind on Friday afternoon, but were
singing in a steady rain on Sunday morning. Our total species count for the
weekend was 134 and I added 4 more species after the group broke up. Here
are some of the more interesting species observed.
@ American Bittern - Wisconsin, flying over I 90 about 1 block East of the
Minnesota boarder.
@ Swainson's Hawk - Fillmore County, Hyw, 44, 1 mile West of the intersection
of Hyw 44 and CR 30.
@ Virginia Rail
@ Sora - both rails were heard and seen in the Marsh, just south of the town
of Hokah in Houston County
@ Sandhill Crane
Lake Byllesby - observed most of the previously reported birds, but missed on
the Piping Plover and Willet's. The mud flats are still getting smaller and
farther away. But there were still two Ruddy Turnstones.
@ Hudsonian Godwit - Dodge County - CR 15 and Hyw 30.
@ Whip-poor-will - previously reported location at Vinegar Ridge - Houston
County
16 species of Warbler, including
@ Prothonotary - Houston County at Millstone Landing and Mower County, From
the town of Brownsdale go 3 miles north and then 7.5 miles East and look at
the bridge.
@ Louisiana Waterthrush - 4 or 5 observed along the creek north of the picnic
shelter.
@ Henslow's Sparrow - several ?, heard singing near the Queen's Bluff parking
lot.
