All,
Went on a little birding trip this weekend to work on a few counties =
and the highlight was the two American Bitterns that I found in Big =
Stone County, I even managed to get a few crappy manual Digiscope shots =
of one of the birds, it was very very cooperative and I watched this =
bird for about 40 minutes.
=20
I watched this bird so long that the coolest thing happened while I was =
watching.. I was parking on the gravel road in my truck, I have my =
windows half way down on the cab, I have my spotting scope on my window =
with my big fat head up to it looking through, all of a sudden these =
group of 2 or 3 Barn Swallows decide to start making runs THROUGH my =
truck. how distracting is it to be watching a bird in your spotting =
scope with birds making strafing runs through the cab of your truck, =
they did this nonstop until I started the truck and left, every time I =
looked up from the scope I had a bird flying around in the cab with me..

Hope this works, here is a map link...

Basically birded 12 from the cities out to Big Stone Co., down to =
Marshall Co. for the night, back to Lincoln Co. in the morning, and =
along Co. Rd. 14 to Watonwan Co., then back home..
