Hi all.
Saturday John and Chris Hockema found a Loggerhead Shrike on
Olmsted county Rd 102, 1/2 mile north of US Hwy 14 east of Rochester.
The bird was just north of the farmhouse that sits north of the railroad =
tracks.
A couple hours later I found another Loggerhead Shrike in western =
Olmsted county
along county Rd 5. The bird was 1 1/4 miles south of US Hwy 14 south of =
Byron.
This is a good 12 miles, maybe 15 miles west of the first bird so I'm =
pretty sure it's a different bird.
A couple hours after that John and Christopher found a Ross' Goose
at the Viola Pond.
Yes, the Viola Pond. Proves anything can show up anywhere.
It's on Olmsted county 2 about a 1/10 of a mile west of MN Hwy 42.
Across the road from the elevator.
Unbelievable.
On a less rare note Saturday I had a Fox Sparrow at my feeders, which =
was replaced yesterday
by a Song Sparrow, which was replaced this morning by an Eastern =
Bluebird.
City bluebirds are cool...
Everyday something new comes along.
