Bob Dunlap and I birded Northwest Minnesota this weekend, leaving early =
due to rain. A couple of notes..
We stopped by the sewage ponds at Warren and while they used to be open =
and drivable, they now have a spanking new chain link fence with gate =
and topped with barded wire. The fence is near the road and goes from =
one ditch to the other, clearly indicating that neither cars or =
pedestrians are welcome. Too bad, since these ponds have had some good =
finds in the past.
Nothing unusual to report on bird finds. We had 18 species of Warblers =
at Agaziz NWR in the rain. Thanks to Jeanie Joppru for birding with us. =
Shorebirds are scarce right now. We did find one field with about 50 =
American Golden Plovers, a few Marbled Godwits, and Killdeer. That was =
it. The smaller creeks are at flood stage in some areas and there is =
water everywhere in the fields.=20
