Little Blue Heron and Snowy Plover present at 7:00. Enter from the East on 
250th (middle 
road into impoundment). Water is rising but there is plenty of shoreline. Look 
to the North 
as you enter past the water gate. Many other shore birds present but the Snowy

Egrets were not found. Glossy Ibis was at the first crossing road to the South

[mou-net] Cannon River Bottoms field trip this Sunday

[Steve Weston]

Hi all,

I will be leading a MRVAC field trip this Sunday, June 11th at the Cannon
River Bottoms. Target birds include Cerulean Warbler, Acadian Flycatcher,
Ovenbird, Wood Thrush, and Yellow-billed Cuckoo, all of which have been
found on previous trips. We will meet at 7:30 at the trail head of this
little known state trail outside of Red Wing. The trail is on an old
railroad bed so it is an easy level walk, but it will probably be buggy and
possibly overgrown. The field trip is free and open to all. Stay as long as
you wish. It is an easy trail back to the cars.

Directions : From Highway 52 by Hampton, take Hwy 50 east towards Red Wing.
The road will turn into Highway 61. Follow it down the long hill and at THE
BOTTOM of the hill turn left onto CR 46 (the first road after the road to
the casino). At the fork take the right road (Collischan Road). A couple of
miles down the road you will pass two houses and the road will fork again.
Take the left fork into the trail head parking area. If you don't find it,
call me at 612 978  a 3993.

[mou-net] Felton Prairie reports

[Rick Gibson]

Thanks to all of you who responded to my question about Chestnut-collared
Longspurs at Felton Prairie.  Below is a quick summary of the responses
(without names):

Last week:
Birder #1: saw a pair of Chestnut-collared Longspurs at the north end of
the "traditional" field (which I assume to be on 170th St, north of 90th
Ave/County 26, generally SE of Felton in Clay County);

Birder #2: saw a pair of possible fly-bys on the south end of the
traditional field;

May 26 - Birder #3 saw Longspurs;

Birders 4 and 5: mentioned that none had been seen during the Detroit Lakes
Bird-fest.

Several others reported spending quite a bit of time out there with no luck
so it seems the numbers are, once again, down.  BUT... others have had luck
so maybe its worth another look.

Have fun!

Re: [mou-net] Birding trip to Koester Prairie, Rice County

[Kevin Smith]

Hi Gene,

Thanks for the email reminder. I see that you did send a notice out on the
MOU-NET also. I checked back on our emails and did not see anything about
me posting an ad for the outing. So, glad you were able to do it.

I think that a bridge is closed on my normal route to the prairie. (south
of Randolph) I will need to allow extra time for the detour.

See you on Saturday morning.

Kevin
