I went to Grand Rapids (La Prairie) on Tuesday after reading Shawn's last post. I got there just in time to be almost swept away by the torrential rains that came. From 5:30 -8:30 I sat at Shawn's fighting the mosquito's and rain. I saw one fly by, a landing with the wings and tail spread out and a take off. I tried to catch up with the bird but it was always on the move. Shawn saw it on the ground under some evergreens and he assumed I saw it. While sitting in my van fighting the insects that came in, the rain drizzling down the windows, and the fog on the window, I had to admit I didn't see it. I spent the night and went back at 6:40 only to be informed that it just left. I stayed until 9:30 and had to leave for a council meeting back in Little Falls. I saw one more fly by, many more mosquito's, and a lot more rain. Sure wish I could have saw the bird better but you take what you get. Frank Gosiak Little Falls, Mn
