Hey birders, I'm not on the web much over the weekend, but I thought I'd give a few details of the bird at Lily Lake. The bird was found by Andrew Krenz on Friday night around 6:15pm and foraged primarily on the south and southwest sides of the lake. It disappeared a couple of times while we were watching it. There is a small point with some fallen logs that it went behind a couple of times and it also disappeared into the grassy southwestern corner. The bird did such a disappearance before we left the area and could not be relocated on Friday night. This morning (Saturday), I relocated the bird right away when we pulled up around 7:20am and we called Bob Dunlap to post it. It was behind the small point again and almost immediately flew about a foot above the water to the west (about 100 yards), disappearing again into the grassy southwestern corner. It did not look like a departure flight. We tried to find the bird for another 40 minutes but then headed toward Lincoln WPA and eastern Watonwan County for some pre-planned birding. I will try and relocate the bird again on Sunday if I have the time. Happy birding! Chad Heins Mankato
