Field Trip Report
72 -species observed
4 - participants
Our group spent the afternoon birding at Elm Creek & Crow Hassen Park
Reserves and also stopped at French Lake and several other areas in-between the
parks. The weather cooperated nicely, but anyone heading to either of the parks
should note that the Mosquito populations are very high! Many of the species
were heard only birds. Including the Acadian Flycatcher, Wood Thrush and Veery
at Elm Creek park. The birds were heard along the trail that follows the
creek behind the Eastman Nature center. We also observed an Eared Grebe on French
Lake and several Grasshopper Sparrows were on territory in the large prairie,
about 5 minutes West of the main parking area at Crow Hassen park. Here were
some of the species observed during the trip.
