While looking for the Cattle Egrets reported yesterday in Olmsted County, Jeff Stephenson found a Northern Mockingbird nearby at about 9:30 AM.
The Cattle Egrets were seen very early this morning but disappeared soon after that. They could still be around in one of the many fields nearby. The mockingbird was on a fencepost and skulking in a small cedar along the northside of 30th St SE just 1/4 mile west of the Cattle Egret location. Repeating the location of the Cattle Egrets yesterday: Take US Hwy 52 to the Marion Road Exit southeast of Rochester, Turn left (north), take Marion Road to 30th St SE, Turn left (west), go 1/4 mile (or less) and look in the field on the south side of the road (east of the big white farm house with the wishing well).
