My son Alex and I went birding on Saturday to try to beat the heat. We were
on the western edge of Douglas County (Douglas County 19) heading southe from
County 82 when we saw a Cattle Egret on a flyover fron Grant to Douglas
about 2 miles South of 82. We went south to Whisper Lane and found a Snowy
Egret
in the easternmost tip of the pond where the Little Blue Herons were a couple
of years ago.
Missed the Mute Swan at Osakis but saw 250-300 shorebirds at the
southernmost sewage pond at Osakis. There were 7 species, nothing exciting but
fun to
see.
