[mou] Upland Sandpiper

[Chad Heins]

Upland Sandpipers are regular summer residents in the
Kasota Prairie area of southwestern Le Sueur County
and adjacent Blue Earth County.  This area has also
had summer records of Henslow's Sparrow and Loggerhead
Shrike (documented nesting).  Other great regulars to
that area include Grasshopper Sparrow, Orchard Oriole,
Bobolink, both meadowlarks (though dominance changes
yearly), and Red-headed Woodpecker.  Prothonotary
Warblers nest in the adjacent river bottoms as well.  

Makes me long for summer...

Happy Birding!
