Re: [mou-net] 180th street marsh
Where do people park to view the marsh? If I remember it is quite narrow and not very safe parking in that area Do you simply park further up the road where there might be more shoulder and walk back?

I was able to photograph both the Virginia Rail and the Sora at the 180th Street Marsh in Dakota County today. Also, counted 15 Yellow-headed Blackbirds. I did not hear the Least Bittern the two times I was there today. Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

Today at about 10:30, a Virginia Rail walked out in the open near the north side of the road toward the east end of the west pond. Three Wilson's Phalarope were in the south pond. Ducks seen were Mallard, Gadwall, N. Shoveler, Ring-necked, Blue-winged Teal, Redhead, Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Amer Wigeon and one Green-winged Teal along with many Coot, Pied-billed Grebes and one Canada Goose.

I was in Lakeville this evening, so I took a quick spin over to the area around Vermillion. The highlight was a 180th Street marsh packed with birds. With ducks flying over constantly, blackbirds singing from the reedbeds, and a cacophony of birds all around, I was able to see or hear the following shorebirds as the light fell. They all appeared to be settling in for the night. 24 Willet (tough to get an accurate count in the low light) 10 Lesser Yellowlegs 2 Greater Yellowlegs 1 Snipe 1 Wilson's Phalarope 1 Solitary Sandpiper Ducks were abundant, with large numbers of Blue-winged Teal, Ring-necked Duck, and Mallard, and smaller numbers of Shoveler and Lesser Scaup. Loads of coots as well, and calling Pied-billed Grebe. Over the din of the Red-winged Blackbirds, I could hear a number of Yellow-headed Blackbirds singing, but couldn't see any of them. I was amazed by how active the marsh was, and wished I had more light and time to look over the birds. The habitat there right now is fantastic, and a daytime visit with a scope would probably yield greater diversity.

This is a little late but last Sunday (3/27) I headed out to the marsh to check on water levels. Last summer it was so low that it was quite dry. The good news is that there is plenty of water and, in fact, there is even water in the roadside ditches east of the marsh heading toward the farmstead. FOY birds seen on Sunday included: Killdeer Northern Shoveler American Kestrel and one very lonely Tree Swallow The fields east of the marsh are quite wet and held lots of ducks. Still some small groups of Horned Larks in the fields. Watched a Red-tail Hawk carrying sticks to a nest it was building in some pines. It also looks like the Vermillion River was receding after having flooded the fields. Had a large flock of blackbirds moving around the farmhouse including one with a white head and a yellow beak. Partially leucistic Red-wing or something. Didn't get a good enough look as it flew.
