6/27/2004 Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter Northwestern Hennepin County Field Trip Report 72 -species observed 4 - participants Our group spent the afternoon birding at Elm Creek & Crow Hassen Park Reserves and also stopped at French Lake and several other areas in-between the parks. The weather cooperated nicely, but anyone heading to either of the parks should note that the Mosquito populations are very high! Many of the species were heard only birds. Including the Acadian Flycatcher, Wood Thrush and Veery at Elm Creek park. The birds were heard along the trail that follows the creek behind the Eastman Nature center. We also observed an Eared Grebe on French Lake and several Grasshopper Sparrows were on territory in the large prairie, about 5 minutes West of the main parking area at Crow Hassen park. Here were some of the species observed during the trip. @ Eared Grebe - French Lake @ American White Pelican - Diamond Lake @ Cooper's Hawk @ Acadian Flycatcher @ Veery @ Wood Thrush @ Ovenbird - Crow Hassen Park @ Grasshopper Sparrow Craig Mandel - [email protected] - Minnetonka, MN -------------------------------1088438471 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><HEAD> <META charset=3DUS-ASCII http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; cha= rset=3DUS-ASCII"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1400" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffff= f"> <DIV>6/27/2004</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter</DIV> <DIV>Northwestern Hennepin County</DIV> <DIV>Field Trip Report</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>72 -species observed</DIV> <DIV>4 - participants</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Our group spent the afternoon birding at Elm Creek & Crow Hass= en Park Reserves and also stopped at French Lake and several other areas in-= between the parks.
