My apologies to anyone who had to endure a lengthy wait to download my
email. First I thought it was much smaller than it was and second I am
new to this process and learn from my boo-boos. Any future attachments
will be very small if at all. Thank you for your patience with a newbie.

This morning a farmer near Long Prairie had two Cattle Egrets on his farm
associating with his cattle. Last year, he had a Cattle Egret on his farm
also about this time of year. His farm is private property, but you should
be able to spot the Egrets from the road.
Directions:
Go south on Hwy 71

Hello all,
Let me know if this is too off-topic for the MN list, but I was wondering what
other's thoughts are on the release of this info. What bothers me is how

same day of the release? Why wasn't the info release
Questions swim to the surface:
1) How many are left? Is there a large enough population to conserve? (See
some of the Hawaiian species' problems.) Will others be discovered in
divergent locations?
2) Should access be regulated, restricted, even denied? Who makes such
decisions? Will birders

I have been on three hunts for Ivory-billeds, albeit all in Louisiana,

filled with snakes and bugs. You route your walk around the through

What will be the impact on these few birds of hoards of eager birdwatchers

alone and instead work to protect its remaining habitat from curious
humans.
