[mou] Minnesota State Fair MOU Booth

There will be no MOU booth for 2006 at the Minnesota State Fair. No one has stepped forward to run and coordinate the event, so we have to miss this year. We are hopeful of being back in business there in 2007 and on, so we must take this year to regroup, reorganize and plan what should be done.

[mou] Big Stone/Lac Qui Parle Trip

Hi all! My dad and I went birding out west for Tuesday, Wednesday, and got back today, Thursday. We had a pretty productive trip... Strangely enough, we searched each day for the Snowy/Piping Plovers and couldn't spot 'em once. Too bad. Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge had lots of activity

[mou] Addition
