Kim Eckert leading a VENT tour through northern Minnesota and North Dakota found a Yellow-breasted Chat in the Felton Prairie area of Clay County on Saturday. From Felton go south two miles to Cty Rd 108, then east two miles toward the Rock Wren area. When the road splits (left goes toward the Rock Wren) turn south or right toward the longspur area for about a half mile. After the gravel pits on your left and just before you get to the S curve area through the ravine there is a gully and thicket area on your right that has Willow Flycatchers , etc singing in it. The Chat was in this area.
Sorry for the late post but we were tied up elsewhere and just got the chance to post this. If these directions do not make sense please call and I'll try to be clearer on the phone. Dennis and Barbara Martin [email protected]
