On 4/14 I observed 3 snowy egrets, together, in Kandiyohi county. The birds were on the "downside" of the spillway where Shokapee Creek leaves Swan Lake. To get to this location, go north of the town of Pennock 4-5 mi (don't have a map in front of me) and then about 2 miles west on county 27.
Also observed yesterday, the first martins at my colony- for the year (although martins were in the area already a week ago). Peregrine falcon was seen this morning (4/15) on the water tower in Willmar that is located west on Willmar ave. Randy Frederickson Willmar
