We were unable to find the Black-necked Stilt on Monday. The winds out =
in western Minnesota were extremely high and if the bird had not =
migrated the night before then it was deep in the rushs.
Other shorebirds in the area included two avocets (Cty 61, approx 1 mile =
north of Cty 4), one willet (Cty 61, approx 7/8's mile south of Cty Rd =
4), Least, Bairds, and Pectoral Sandpipers, and both yellowlegs in =
various areas.
A probable Clark's Grebe was on Thielke Lake. High winds and distance =
made viewing difficult but we were clearly able to observe the brighter =
orange/yellow bill, the thinner stripe on the back of the neck, and what =
appeared to be whiter flanks. The eye position was tough to tell =
because of the bobbing in the wind even though the birds were on the lee =
side of a grass island. There were about 30 westerns with the clark's =
so there was plenty of comparisons available as they swam around each =
other. The clark's was seen to "dance" with a western.
Two juvenile Great Horned Owls were close to 3/4ths grown in a nest in =
Robertson Park, Jackson County on Sunday.
