I just got back from leading a MOU trip in the Frontenac area. The =
weather was warm and migration was in full swing! We birded Villa Marie, =
Sandy Pt. and Hok Si La Park. I led a group of 20 birders to these areas =
and we had a great time! I thank Mark Ochs and Ron Erpelding for =
spotting a lot of the birds!! We saw a total of 100 species in 7 hours =
of birding. The group saw 20 species of warblers for the day!
Here's the highlights of the MOU trip:
Virginia Rail: Sandy Pt. * St. Paul Audubon Society found the rails =
originally and we thank them for sharing thier sightings
Sora Rail: Sandy Pt.
Solitary Sandpipers: Several birds at Sandy Pt.=20
Caspian Terns: Lake Pepin
Barred Owl: Calling at Hok Si La Park
7 species of Woodpeckers!
Olive-sided Flycatcher: Marshy area along the road leading you to the =
Villa Marie.
