[mou-net] American Golden Plovers in Isanti County
On the way to see the Buff-breasted and Baird's Sandpipers in NW Isanti County my wife and I found 7 American Golden Plovers in a wet field on the east side of CR 13 a little south of CR 62(373rd Ave NW). This road runs along the county line about 3 miles south of where the sandpipers have been. They were associating with an assemblage of Ring-billed Gulls.

[mou-net] Fall migration/Rice Co.
Compared to previous years, August saw a disappointing warbler migration here in Rice Co. On my blog I posted a photo of a Chestnut-sided Warbler banded yesterday. Other warblers have included a couple of redstarts and a Canada Warbler. http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota daner...@gmail.com http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com " the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ”—H.
