[mou] Renville-Yellow Medicine counties

[William Marengo]

Spent the past two days birding along the Minnesota River valley looking for migrants. In general, with the rain and north-northwest winds things have been slow. 

However, I did find two birds of note:

Blue-winged Warbler - Renville county
At the county park located next to county road 6 and the Minnesota River.

Cerulean Warbler - Yellow Medicine county
At the campground of the Upper Sioux Agency State Park (both Monday and Tuesday). It is singing an 'alternate' song (similar to Blackburnian) near the parking area for the 'walk-in campsites'.

Other warblers that are present: Nashville, Yellow-rumped, Black-and-white, Magnolia, Redstart, Ovenbird, Tennessee and Northern Waterthrush.

As for shorebirds..... none.  Hopefully, there will be more as I search to the west.

Regards....
