[mou-rba] FOY Palm Warbler at CR Dam

[Ron Taube]

Hi Again
 I went to the Brooklyn Park side of the Coon Rapids Dam this afternoon and got 
my first of the year Palm Warbler.  It was right near the parking lot near on 
the east side. He hung around for all the time that we were there.
Here are some photos.

[mou-rba] Belted Kingfishers and Vesper sparrows at West Mississippi Park Ramsey

[Ron Taube]

Hi
Among 45 species of birds seen on Gary Swanson’s hike at West Mississippi Park 
in Ramsey this morning were Belted Kingfishers, Chipping Sparrows, Vesper 
Sparrows and a Broad Winged Hawk.  There was at least one Eagle chick visible 
from the nest across the river . Here are a few photos from the hike.

[mou-rba] [mou-net] Black-necked Stilt, Stearns Co.

[Chu, Philip]

Today I found two Black-necked Stilts at Getchell Lake in Oak Twp., Stearns Co. 
 I watched them from about 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM, and then I left; the stilts 
were still there.

To get to Getchell Lake, take I-94W to the Albany exit; at the foot of the exit 
ramp, turn left and go under the freeway to the T intersection; at the T 
intersection, turn right onto CR 10; follow CR 10 for roughly four-and-a-half 
miles to CR 30; turn right, or west, onto CR 30; after a little less than two 
miles turn right (north), following CR 30 which turns right (north) as well; 
and after a little less than a mile, turn left (west) onto 327th St., which 
ends at the Getchell Lake public-access site.

Getchell Lake water levels are low, perhaps because of a drawdown, and will be 
worth visiting throughout the spring unless the water comes back up.
