Earth to Elbow Lake, please report your sightings to me so that they can
be included in the species count for the 6th Annual Great MN River
Birding Day.
Thanks,
Bob
Went to Ritter Farm Park in Dakota County for 3 hours in the middle of
the day. There were lots of birds including 3 Winter Wrens(2 by picnic
shelter #2 and 1 by picnic shelter #3) and 6 species of warbler.
