Went west on Sunday and MOnday. Migration was still in progress. Shorebirds were still at the Dawson sewagesponds, White rumps, Wilsons Phalarope, and Semi sandpiper. A half mile sounth in a small wet spot had a Turnstone. Only other shorebird was a Lesser Yellowlegs flying down old highway 23 in Cottonwood. Flycatchers were still migrating, had a Yellow-bellied flycatcher at a farm grove north of Cottonwood in Yellow Medicine County. Had several flocks of Eastern Kingbirds numbering from 3 to 5. I also did a night ride along the Minnesota river. I drove over 35 miles in Yellow Medicine, Redwood, and Renville counties stopping every 1/2 mile. I was disappointed in that All I heard from 9:30 to 12:00a were 1 Woodcock in Yellow Medicine 3 Whip-poor-wills in Renville about 6 Short-billed Marsh wrens spread over all three counties 3 Yellowthroats 2 Long-billed Marsh wrens in Redwood co and one strange sounding bird that was quite loud but I have no idea what it might have been. The night was calm but the temperature dropped quickly so can not explain the fact I heard no Owls, Rails, or bitterns. Even the Yellowheaded Blackbids were silent in Marshes I new they are in.
