I drove though Felton Prairie this evening and found 3 Chestnut-collared Longspurs in their usual location in the small drainage near the road. Also present were Marbled Godwits, Western and Eastern Kingbirds, Western Meadowlarks, Bobolinks, Grasshopper, Savannah and Vesper Sparrows, Horned Larks and a multitude of Upland Sandpipers, 6 of which were jostling each other off a small section of wooden fencing.
The road is quite passable with only small sections of loose sand and gravel. Scott B. Meyer Hennepin County ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
