I was at Big Willow Park today in Minnetonka and some of the trails are now closed off and marked as private property. One of the trails that I have always found very reliable for saw-whets--the one that goes up the hill with a cedar tree right at the top is now off limits.
The birding was okay otherwise, the highlight for me was a flock of four fox sparrows. Sharon Stiteler Minneapolis, MN www.birdchick.com Bird/Wildlife Observation Specialist for www.eagleoptics.com
