[mou] Northern Mockingbird, Nicolett County

[rdunlap@gac.edu]

Around 9:15 this morning I found a Northern Mockingbird in the Gustavus Adolphus
Arboretum.  From Hwy. 169 in St. Peter, go west on College Ave.  Follow this up
the hill to a T: go left at the T.  This will take you past three dorm
buildings on your left; after the last dorm there is a stop sign.  Go straight
after the stop sign and take an immediate left into the Arboretum parking
lot--look for visitor parking.  Hike any of the trails into the Arboretum, as
they all lead west.  Past the prairie area you will come to a large grassy area
with scattered trees.  The bird was foraging in this area, especially near the
old pioneer building (which is easy to see). Good luck!
