A covey of nine Gray Partridge flew across the road 1/4 mi S of =
Holdingford, MN (Stearns County) on CR9 (it runs 9mi N from Avon off of =
I94). They landed in a corn stubble field, I wheeled around to watch =
them for awhile-mannerisms like quail-(firsts on my MN and Stearns =
list). They came from the river bottom of Two-River which is westside =
of CR9. Reliability??, pretty much it simply happens, but will let you =
know if I can find a few locals to give me reliable leads. One of my =
colleagues told me that they used to flush them in near every woodlot =
around here, but now seem to be few and far between. ...will try to =
verify this.
Since then (this week) I have observed a Red-tailed Hawk hanging out in =
this area, and further down the road a beautiful male Kestrel is posting =
up on the wires. mjb
