I was passing through Bird Island in Renville county this morning (after =
completing a Breeding Bird Survey) and found a pair of Eurasian =
Collared-Doves along Main Street. They were feeding on the ground and =
just happened to fly up into a tree as I drove by. The exact spot where =
I found them was at 411 Main St. I know there are previous records of =
ECD in Renville county as I saw my first life bird in the town of =
Renville several years ago. Perhaps these birds in Bird Island have =
been reported before, if so, I don't recall hearing about it.
Also, when I arrived at my starting point for the survey at 4:45 am =
today, there was a Whip-poor-will calling right outside of where I was =
parked. I crossed my fingers and hoped that it would continue to call =
when my survey was set to start at 5:02 am so I could officially count =
it and fortunately it did! If anyone is interested, the Whip-poor-will =
was found at the intersection of Renville county 5 and 410th Street, =
just a few miles SE of Franklin. =20
Good birding,
