[mou] Cattle Egret-Dakota County

[Drewbec@aol.com]

If anyone is heading south from the Twin Cities to see the Clark's Grebe at 
Lake Byllesby, you might like to stop and see the Cattle Egret. I found the 
bird along CR 66 (or 200th St) between Donnelly Ave and CR 81 (Clayton Ave) 
on the north side of the road in the flooded meadows. This area is about 1/2 
mile to a mile west of HWY 52. I looked for other birds, but didn't see 
anything except GBH. This would be a great spot to carefully check for any 
other vagrant heron, an ibis, or interesting shorebird-- like a Ruff or 
Black-necked Stilt, or???
