[mou] CW Co Willets and Aitkin Co birds

[Cindy Risen]

Hi
Not having much time for birding, but Kim saw a nice assortment of warblers 
this week, but couldn't refind the Mockingbird at Rice Lake NWR. There were 
2 Willets and a Semi-Palmated Sandpiper at Garrison in Crow Wing County on 
Wed.afternoon. The Ovenbird is back in my woods and the Broad-winged Hawks 
are looking for nest sites. Finding new arrivals everyday is what I love 
about spring.

McGregor is having its first birding and nature festival on the second 
weekend of June. June 9-11 with registration beginning the evening of the 
8th. Field trips, speakers, vendors and fun. Check out the information at 
www.mcgregormn.com or follow the links at our web site. Kim is still 
updating the website with final information about the activities so check 
back again next week for more details. Hope to see some of you there.
