I will be leading my annual Dakota County Prairie Field Trip tomorrow (Sunday). Meet at Schaar's Bluff picnic parking lot at 7am. Besides some short walks, this will mostly be birding by the road through some of Dakota County's hotspots. Target birds that have been found within the last few days at these sites include: Red-headed Woodpecker, Blue Grosbeak, Black-billed Cuckoo, Vesper, Grasshopper, Lark sparrows, Orchard Oriole, Willow and Alder Flycatcher, Sora and Virginia Rail, Sandhill Crane, Bobolink, Dickcissel, Sedge and Marsh wren, Eastern Towhee, and Eurasian Collared Dove. This field trip is free and open to all, including all levels of experience. No reservations, just show up. (Please, no calls) Bring lunch, if you want to continue birding into the afternoon.
