Re: [mou-net] Acadian Flycatcher, Burnsville, Dakota County

I went to check out the Acadian Flycatcher reported by Caleb A.
yesterday. I did hear what I believe was the flycatcher in the exact
spot described by Caleb. The bird was not seen but seemed to be
hanging out in a stand of large Eastern Cottonwood trees. Airplane
and highway noise didn't help the matter. Besides looking for the
flycatcher I was impressed by this little nature preserve which I had
never visited before. It was quite active in spite of visiting at
mid-day.

Yesterday, around noon I heard an Acadian Flycatcher at Rudy Kraemer 
Nature Preserve in Burnsville.  It was singing in a small stand of 
woods on the south east side of the park.  Seemed like an odd spot
and 
I didn’t think it would stick around but I heard it again this
morning. 
  The quickest access to where the flycatcher was is actually through

Sue Fischer Fields (past the Mcdonalds at 12700 Vincent Ave South in 
Burnsville).

Hike south out of the parking lot on a paved trail.  Take the SECOND 
trail you see to your right, between two small ponds.  As you get to 
the end of the two small ponds, there is a small mixed stand of trees

on your RIGHT.  That’s where it was singing.   There is a water
outflow 
that cascades down a few limestone boulders on your left at this
spot.  
It is less than a quarter mile from the parking lot.  If you continue

past this, there is another mile or two of hiking trails around a
large 
wetland complex.
