We went to see the red-heads. We saw lots of wildflowers, even pussytoes, dragonflies emerging from the water (there were hundreds flying around when we arrived), fox scat, baby bullheads at the shoreline, lupines in the prairie, and they have an port-a-potty next to the shelter and parking lot,

2012-05-19 Thread Shawn Conrad
This morning I was at Touch the Sky NWR in Rock County and heard a "hiccup" that turned out to be a Henslow's Sparrow. The bird was singing right on the edge of the road directly across from the south parking lot of the To the Sky trail kiosk (on 171st, about 2.5 miles west of 75); photos at http:

Dedrick Benz and I looked for about an hour and a half for this bird. We left confident that the Northern Waterthrush we found in the same described location and singing an odd Kirtland's-like song was Bob's bird. On May 19, 2012, at 1:34 P.M., Robert P Russell wrote: > I was startled to hear w

I was startled to hear what I belive is a singing Kirtland's Warbler in downtown St. Paul at Irving Park. Irving Park is located near the Excel Center 2 blocks west of Eagle Parkway, 2 blocks above Shepherd Road and 3 blocks south of West Seventh. The bird was singing loudly from the northeast

I walked through Hok Si La park early this morning and only found one Redstart singing and one Yellow-throat. Nothing else in the trees or bushes. Walking out to Sand Point was just as fruitless. There is a new mown trail going out to Sand Point that now loops around along the lake and through

This morning I ran into Skyler Vold, a young birder from Lamberton at the Sleepy Eye WTP's. While we were scanning the ponds, we found a Black-necked Stilt along the shoreline in the northwest corner of the north pond. It was loosely associating with some other shorebirds. We noticed that it

I have seen lots of photos of shorebirds in Theodore Wirth Park. Can anyone give me the location within the park that they are being seen? Also just as a general update, I went to Kunkel State Wildlife Management Area last Wednesday and found a Brewster's Warbler and four Red-shouldered Hawks an

Spent some time looking at the Sherburne NWR Auto Tour's small cormorant. Except for the size, can't find anything else that says Neo-tropical. However, my total experience with this species consists of one fly-away in the cities. Could someone who knows neo-trops stop by & look at this bird
