The most reliable spot within two hours of the Twin Cities I know of is the
Empire Substation on 210th Street in Dakota Co. If I walk around the power
station I almost always flush a few but can usually see them in the fields
from my car.
You take Hwy 52 south to 200th Street and go west. Take 200 to Clayton and
go south. Clayton will come to a =B3T=B2 intersection and you go west (it
should be a gravel road). Take that until you see the power station on the
north side of the road and watch for the gray partridge. There=B9s a small
parking lot outside of the fenced in station. I don=B9t know if it=B9s legal
for birders to walk around the fenced area but I know many of us do.
