[mou] Little Blue Heron in Lake County

[Jim Lind]

Sharon Lind and I found an adult Little Blue Heron at the Two Harbors 
Municipal Airport this evening.  It was in a ditch next to the pond 
that is inside the runway/taxiway gate.  It flew from the ditch to 
the top of a spruce tree, and then flew down and out of sight beyond 
or into the patch of woods north of the pond.  It could not be 
relocated at dusk, but it may still be in the area.

To reach the airport from the Highway 61, turn north onto CR 10 at 
the Two Harbors Ford dealership on the expressway (don't take CR 9, 
which will take you west towards Duluth).  Take CR 10 north for one 
mile to CR 11.  Follow CR 11 for 1.5 miles north and west to CR 12.  
Go north on CR 12 for 1.5 miles until you reach the Airport Road.  Go 
west on the Airport Road for about a half mile to the airport 
entrance.  Park next to the gate and walk out onto the large paved 
area.  The pond is visible to the west.  The airport has always been 
open to birders as long as they stay off the runway itself.
