[mou] LA WThrush(Murphy)/Osakis Clark's Grebe

[Dedrick Benz]

On early Sunday AM, John Hockema, Tom Nelson, Jim Hughes and I heard a 
Louisiana Waterthrush repeatedly vocalizing at Murphy-Hanrehan Park.  The 
location was along the east side of 75, 100 yards north of it's intersection 
with Sunset Lake Boulevard.

Later that day, at the town of Osakis from the end of 1st Street, we saw a 
pair of Grebes fairly close, less than 100 yards.  It was awesome to get 
direct comparison, as one was a Western and one was a Clark's.  The Clark's 
bill glowed orange, compared to the Western, the eye was clearly in an 
island of white, and the back of the bird was paler than the Western.
