This morning I played a Common Gallinule recording at the public access off CR 4 on the north side of Swan Lake. Immediately, a gallinule responded from the nearby cattails. It called several more times over the next 20 minutes. At one point, another bird called further out in the marsh. I got only one very brief look at the bird on the right side of the narrow channel that goes out through the marsh from the access during the 30 minutes I was there. At least 3 Virginia Rails were also present.
Earlier, I came across a Grey Partridge crossing CR 4 .1 mile south of CR 15. Joel Claus Eden Prairie Sent from my iPad ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
