On Sunday, June 11, 2006 I stopped in at the Upper Sioux Agency State Park
Campground southeast of Granite Falls in Yellow Medicine County to listen
for the Cerulean Warbler that Bill Marengo reported 26 days ago on May 16th.
(Thanks Bill for posting the sighting) To my surprise the bird was still
present and singing almost continuously.
The Cerulean Warbler was first heard at 11:00 a.m. singing east of the
parking area for the walk-in campsites, near campsite #4, next to the Yellow
Medicine River. As I listened the bird moved from one Bur Oak to another
and flew across the river to the Cottonwoods on the other side. When it
returned to the campsite side of the river I finally saw the bird at 11:22
a.m.
I listened to the bird for another 15 minutes as I attempted to locate
several Cuckoos that were also singing in the same area. I finally got a
great look at a Yellow-billed Cuckoo further down the road from the
campground where the Minnesota and Yellow Medicine Rivers come together.
