On a trip from Mapleton to Albert Lea and back, we had a nice
encounter with 10 Long-billed Dowitchers working in a flooded farm
field near Freeborn.
On return stopped at in-laws east of Lura Lake and looked at photos
they took yesterday of a male Baltimore Oriole and three Rose-breasted
Grosbeaks (2 M 1 F)
which visited their feeders yesterday. The real highlight was their
photos of a beautiful male Cattle Egret which spent the day with them,
at one point walking within feet of their bedroom window.
Their Black Lab, an experienced hunter, was totally at a loss as to
what the thing was doing in their yard.
