Spent the day in Faribault, Blue Earth and LeSueur Counties, but ended =
up back at my home turf in Scott County. After finding an Acadian =
Flycatcher several hundred feet east of #17(the trail in the woods that =
starts across the road from the Pet Trails parking lot), I heard a =
tanager calling near the road and decided to check it out. What I saw =
was a brilliant orange bird that in every other respect looked and =
sounded like a Scarlet Tanager. It was actively foraging around the =
south end of the pond that is on the east side of the road across from =
the parking lot. It was quite vocal and appeared to interact with at =
least one other male tanager.=20
Not a lot to report from the other counties: Dickcissels in all 4, at =
least 83 White Pelicans at Rice Lake WMA in Faribault County(just east =
of Winnebago), Kentucky Warbler at Williams Nature Center and Bell's =
Vireo(heard only) at Minneopa State Park both in Blue Earth County.
