While leading a trip to the Rothsay area are group relocated the Snowy Egret
on the South side of Rush Lake in Ottertail County. We tried to relocate the
Cattle Egret at the Barnesville Sewage Ponds but were unsuccessful with that
bird. The afternoon highlight was watching about 50+ hawks migrate by while
watching shorebirds at a small WMA west of Fergus Falls. While not numerous we
did observe 15 species of Ducks, including nice looks at Greater Scaup in
flight. Prairie Chickens were still present at the main Lek at the Rothsay WMA
and also along Wilkin County Road 32, just East of CR 9. There was also a late
Cliff Swallow near the Prairie Chicken spot on CR 32. Here are some of the
species observed by our group.
