This morning Nancy Jackson and I birded parts of Dakota COunty.  After getting
great looks at the prairie warbler at Ritter Farm Park (8:30 a.m.) we hiked to
the Empire substation (near the Jirek Sod Farms) and found singing dickcisels
and grashopper sparrows.  In the same area, (along Cty 81) we found loggerhead
shrikes and more dickcisels.  180th St. marsh did not provide much action.  We
were hoping for least bittern.
