Nathan & I may be able to do a little chasing Saturday (rest of family in WI). Are there any spots within a couple of hours (or so) of central MN that would be good for:
* Gray Partridges * Prairie Chickens * Long-eared Owls * Varied Thrushes (is the Sartell bird still being seen? If so, does anyone have directions?). If not, we may head to Black Dog for a second shot at the gulls. When is the best time to do so (we struck out a couple of weeks ago in the morning)? What is the best way to get to the eastern location mentioned in some of the emails (we've only been there once, and wasted significant time driving the area)? Thanks! Al & Nathan Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties PS Also could use a good spot for L. Longspurs, if they're still around.
