Birded Saturday in Winona County from about 1030 a.m. to dusk and found: -Horned grebe on Lake Winona. -15 duck species, plus hundreds of coots, and abundant pied-billed grebes. -Two Sandhill cranes in Whitewater Wildlife Management Area. -One woodcock flushed near Whitewater State Park center. -One yellow-bellied sapsucker in deciduous wood hillside. -One golden-crowned kinglet in red cedars. -One chipping sparrow on roadside brown bluegrass. -One western meadowlark singing from power line.
There were dozens of fox sparrows and hundreds of juncos in the brushy field edges today. Anywhere near a stream or marsh, phoebes were abundant. Unusual, I think, that I didn't see one eastern bluebird today. Regards, Jeff Dankert 908 Parks Ave Apt 158 Winona MN 55987-5330 (507) 454-0033 [email protected]
