After the shorebird seminar with Doug Buri & Bob Janssen, three of us went down to Yellow Medicine County and found a winter plumage Western Tanager. A mile away from that we had a brief fly-by of a male breeding plummage Lark Bunting. Directions: turn south a half mile before Gary, SD. Go two miles until the road T's and turn left. The bird was seen on the south side of road in the next clump of vegetation. The Lark Bunting was seen one mile south of this as the bunting flies. Bird watchers will have to drive around to get there. It was seen on the north side of the road.
We also found four Orchard Orioles, Red-headed Woodpeckers, Grasshopper Sparrow, a stiking juvenile Western Red-Tailed Hawk, a family of Turkey, a Badger, and a Grey Fox. Steve Weston on Quiggley Lake in Eagan, MN sweston2 at comcast.net
