Hi,
Brett and Janice Culver and myself birded Brown county today and we had =
some good finds. Highlights were: Cerulean Warbler - TWO males that =
appeared to be defending territory very near each other. We got great =
looks at this beautiful warbler. This was along Brown Cty. 10, west of =
state Hwy. 4 along the Minnesota river. Eurasian Collared Dove - three =
birds in the eastern part of Comfrey. We spoke with a homeowner who told =
us that two to three of these "large" doves have been around Comfrey for =
about the past two years. Henslow's Sparrow - one bird singing in the =
open in the CREP field adjacent to Bashaw WMA, NW of Comfrey. Blue =
Grosbeak - a male singing near a gravel pit in western Brown county. =
Red-headed Woodpecker - Brett spotted this bird flycatching insects =
along Cty. Rd. 2. Peregrine Falcon - we found this magnificent adult =
having lunch on an unidentified bird it had caught at the Sleepy Eye =
sewage ponds. All in all a great day birding (isn't every day of =
birding great, though?) and great company.
