[mou] MN Valley birds

[JELLISBIRD@aol.com]

    Went south along the MN river today. Lots of Field Sparrows at Louisville 
Swamp and points south of there and three Chipping Sparrows seen and singing 
between Jordan and the Lawrence Unit SP Campground. Lots of Turkey Vultures a 
few BEagles and Redtails. Saw two pair of Coopers and a pair of Red-Shouldered 
Hawks on bottom road between Blakely and MN19 to Henderson. Didn't see any 
shorebirds at ponds at St. Peter or Le Seuer but had a flyover of six medium 
size shorebirds at Belle Plain ponds. A few waterfowl around but not many besides 
Shovelers and Mallards.
