Some other highlights of the Friday through Monday trip:
a.. At Glendalough State Park, a very active group of Yellow-billed =
Cuckoos in the semi-open area of tall trees just across the bridge, near =
the trail center (near the end of the road).
b.. Marbled Godwits putting on shows at Rothsay, Felton, and =
Tympanuchus Prairie (near Crookston).
c.. LeConte's sparrows at these same locations.
d.. At Tympanuchus, Prairie Chickens (where else?), lots of displaying =
Upland Sandpipers and Snipe, and one moose.
e.. Red Crossbills, singing Hermit Thrushes, and a fly-by of a =
Black-backed Woodpecker on the Thompson Forest Road, Beltrami Island =
State Forest.
f.. Northern Parulas and Blackburnian Warblers at the Big Bog SRA =
headquarters, Waskish, eastern edge of Upper Red Lake. The bog =
boardwalk at the Big Bog SRA, which was originally scheduled for =
completion in 2004, is still under construction and not usable. The =
current estimate for completion is sometime in July.
Due to heavy rain Saturday afternoon, we did not search for the Rock =
Wrens and Say's Phoebes at Felton.
