Leslie Marcus and I were birding in Dakota Co today, and saw a 1st summer male Orchard Oriole in Rosemount near the intersection of 142nd StE and Emery Ave. The bird was singing on a tree top on the north side of 142nd about .1 from the corner.
We heard a really vocal Alder Flycatcher, and a lot of flycatchers in the Empire area of 170th StW. We saw tons and tons of Baltimore Orioles everywhere we drove singing up a storm, that's always a day brightner! We walked the 180th St Marsh, and heard the Least Bitterns previously reported calling really close to the side of the road. Conny Brunell Richfield, Hennepin Cty [email protected]
