(Posted by Jason Frank <jmfran...@gmail.com> via moumn.org) At 1:05 this afternoon, I found my FOS Northern Shrike, in the far SW corner of Lac qui Parle County, hunting the field along the north side of CR 50 (aka 110th St N). This is half a mile west of Bailey Slough WPA. It was flitting between the fence-posts and the small scrubby trees clustered at the west end of the field beside Monighan Creek, coordinates: 44.820162, -96.443619.
Around 11:30 this morning, there were a pair of Trumpeter Swans on Bolson Slough on the south side Lac qui Parle CR 12, along with 50-some ducks, mostly Mallards and Shovelers, but hard to ID on account of the light. This is the slough directly SW and across the road from Sweetwater State WMA. Red Crossbills are still roaming the area, generally sticking to mature spruce trees.
