[mou] EC Doves in Swift, N Shrike in La Qui Parle

[Hagsela@aol.com]

I refound the Eurasian Collared Doves in Appleton, Swift Cty.  They were just 
off Hwy 7 in the residential area across from the grain elevators.  On 7 take 
the Rd marked Cty 6 (or E. Haven St.) and veer right on E. Dahlstrom (or a 
street that sounds like that).  The birds were on the right side of the road in 
the large conifer in front of the peach colored house.  The time was 1:30 
12/26 and I was able to get nice scope looks at the pair.

Before finding the doves I saw a Northern Shrike in La Qui Parle County, 
along Hwy 75 just south of the intersection with 220th St.

I looked for the reported NHOW and Townsend's Solitaire in Chippewa Cty, 
along Cty 32.  I didn't see either one.
