[mou] Big Stone NWR Plegadis ibises

[patrick.beauzay@ndsu.edu]

Hello all,

I took the scenic route from Fargo to Redwood Falls this afternoon,
stopping along the auto tour at Big Stone NWR.  I found a total of 8
Plegadis ibis in the long wetland towards the east end of the tour loop. 
Other birds of note:

Red-headed woodpecker, female about 8 miles NW of Ortonville
Black-crowned Night-Heron, 2 juveniles at BSNWR
Greater Prairie-Chicken, 1 feeding along SH7 right at the Big Stone/Swift
County line.  It flushed from the Swift side and landed in Big Stone.

Good birding to all.  I'll probably see some of you at the LQP
headquarters tomorrow evening.

Pat
