5/10/11/2003 While leading a group in SE, Minnesota over the weekend we observed a number of interesting species. We relocated the Louisiana Waterthrush at Beaver Creek Valley State Park, the Henslow's Sparrows at Great River Bluff''s State Park, which were not singing in the wind on Friday afternoon, but were singing in a steady rain on Sunday morning. Our total species count for the weekend was 134 and I added 4 more species after the group broke up. Here are some of the more interesting species observed. @ American Bittern - Wisconsin, flying over I 90 about 1 block East of the Minnesota boarder. @ Swainson's Hawk - Fillmore County, Hyw, 44, 1 mile West of the intersection of Hyw 44 and CR 30. @ Virginia Rail @ Sora - both rails were heard and seen in the Marsh, just south of the town of Hokah in Houston County @ Sandhill Crane Lake Byllesby - observed most of the previously reported birds, but missed on the Piping Plover and Willet's. The mud flats are still getting smaller and farther away. But there were still two Ruddy Turnstones. @ Hudsonian Godwit - Dodge County - CR 15 and Hyw 30. @ Whip-poor-will - previously reported location at Vinegar Ridge - Houston County 16 species of Warbler, including @ Prothonotary - Houston County at Millstone Landing and Mower County, From the town of Brownsdale go 3 miles north and then 7.5 miles East and look at the bridge. @ Louisiana Waterthrush - 4 or 5 observed along the creek north of the picnic shelter. @ Henslow's Sparrow - several ?, heard singing near the Queen's Bluff parking lot.
