Limpkin in Watonwan County

'Accidental' in Minnesota - First record for Watonwan County in the Summer season

First reported to eBird on 31 May by Rachel Hillsheim. Today it flew into a small slough on the south side of 330th Street (44.00752, -94.39479) at 6:30 A.M. and remained visible for 15 minutes before disappearing into the vegetation. I checked back several times to see if it had reappeared. It did not.
