Nathan and I spent the morning driving around Sherburne County (from Highway
2 Ponds to the Refuge to the Monticello Power Plant to Sand Prairie WMA,
then back to Highway 2 Ponds). Highlights among 52 species:
* Ross' Goose (Highway 2 Ponds, there 10 minutes ago)
* Peregrine Falcon (Monticello power plant, thanks Herb D for the
recommendation)
* Red-shouldered Hawk (flying over HWY 10, about five miles from St. Cloud)
* Western Meadowlark (power plant).
First of year birds also included both teals, an Eastern Phoebe and two Tree
Swallows.
Good birding to all!
