Thanks, Fr. Paul *** Hello birders, The Star Tribune had a nice feature today on the upcoming Detroit Lakes Bird Festival. Unfortunately I can't make it to the festival, but I was hoping to get some bird photographs from the area around the same time. I've never birded this part of the state, so was hopeful someone who is familiar with the area could give me a favorite spot or two for a one night, two day trip. (Birding afternoon one day, morning to mid-day the next). Right now based on the guides I've found online, my plan would be to spend the late afternoon at Hamden Slough, and the following morning at Tamarac NWR. My main interests are warblers of any kind and shorebirds along with waterfowl. I'd heard that Agassiz could be good to for owls, especially a SEO, but I did not see it listed on the field trips for the festival so am not sure if it's worth driving up there too? Thanks for any helpful information. Hopefully the Hamden-Tamarac plan is good for warblers, but if I'm missing anything please let me know. Not sure if Blackburnian nest there or not, that's a favorite bird. Enjoy migration and thanks for the help! Fr.
