Hello my peeps!
Forest Strnad and I found 4 Cattle Egrets today near Cedar Lake, west =
of Faribault. There is a large Elk farm there along the south side of =
the lake and they were in with the Elk. Directions to the spot as =
follows: From highway 35, take the highway 60 west to county road 12, =
which is to the right. Just past the bridge, take a right, which is =
still CR 12, and follow this to the elk farm, which will be on your =
left. This is after Gonvick Avenue, but before Halstad Avenue. There =
were 3 birds on the ground among the elk and one on a fencepost, =
preening. All were within binocular range, with fantastic views through =
the scope. Forest and I viewed the birds around 10 - 10:30.
Other birds of interest seen today were Cerulean Warbler, Acadian =
Flycatcher (both singing), Red-headed Woodpecker, and Olive-sided =
Flycatcher.=20
The Marbled Godwit, seen by Forest on Thursday, was no longer present, =
but there were a few Dunlin there today, along with some Lesser =
Yellowlegs and Least Sandpipers.
If you have any questions or need further directions, feel free to =
e-mail me.
Good birding!
