(Posted by Michael Oetken <mike.oet...@bimedaus.com> via moumn.org) Following the report of a Cattle Egret by Doug Kieser I traveled last evening (7 PM: 7/18/15) to the Fairfax WTP. After searching the many lagoons I was about to give up when I saw it flying at the far southern end of the main lagoon. It hawked insects for awhile then headed south out of sight.
Further south on Hwy 4 just north off the MN river bridge into Brown Cty. I scoped the wetland on the east side of the road. I nice diversity of shorebirds including three Short-billed Dowitchers, both yellowlegs, two Wilson's Phalaropes, and assorted others. Extensive mudflats that should yield good viewing with a scope for awhile. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
