[mou] Northern Waterthrush in Minneapolis

[Rob Daves]

On my noon run that takes me along the river in downtown Minneapolis, there were the usual returning species that we've heard about so far -- Northern Rough-winged and Tree Swallows, Eastern Phoebes, Chipping and Song Sparrows and many others.  The Double-crested Cormorants have returned to their fishing and wing-drying spot just below the Stone Arch Bridge.  But the highlight of the day for me was a Northern Waterthrush probing the sand where the river lapped the back of Nicollet Island, just east (south) of the bridge over to Boom Island Park.
   
  Good birding to all.
