Just a little note from this weekend around Rock County. I had a wedding to
attend in Beresford, South Dakota but preferred to camp at Blue Mounds...One of
my favorite MN State Parks. I squeezed in a couple hours of birding.
BLUE MOUNDS STATE PARK
2 pair of Blue Grosbeaks around the Interpretive Center of CR8
Many BOOMing Common Nighthawks at the overlook/parking lot of the Interpretive
Center
(Probably the best place in MN to see Nighthawks booming ...and in a natural
environment...They "nest" near the flat Sioux Quartzite outcrops
Orchard Orioles—all over. Interpretive Center but also several pairs just east
of the swimming beach.
HARDWICK SEWAGE PONDS
1 Greater White-fronted Goose
4 Wilson's Phalaropes (one allowed a very close approach)
2 Sanderlings
TOUCH THE SKY PRAIRIE
They have burned a big portion recently but still lots of birds.
Fun to see and hear...
Upland Sandpiper (Common)
Grasshopper Sparrows
Dickcissel
Sparky Stensaas
