There is a male Lazuli Bunting at our feeders. It has been observed by Steve
Weston. It appears to be hanging around for now. You are welcome to come and
hopefully see it. It appears to show up at about one-hour increments.

Bernice and Earl Hall got a call from a friend in rural McLeod Cty. to report
an unusual large blackbird making strange clicking and clacking and clucking
noises.
We identified it as a Great-tailed Grackle. The calls and sound effects were
diagnostic,
and it was much bigger than the Common Grack
The bird appears to have hunker down for the night. I "think" it will be here
tomorrow (Sat)

Hi all,
Another great day in NW MN. The highlight being 7 WHITE-FACED IBIS at the
Parnell Impoundment in Polk County. Pictures below. The impoundment is
open to the public, but is walk-in access only. The best walk-in access
atm is at the gate located on 240th Ave just north of Polk County 17.
