Minnesota birders are welcome to join this tri-state auto-tour, all day or from Lansing, Iowa north to LaCrescent, Minn. The group will lunch in Lansing about 12N at one or all three eateries in town, then proceed north on Hwy 26 into Minnesota at the north edge of New Albin, Iowa. A major stop for Sandhill Cranes & raptors is Poole Slough, literally on the Iowa/Minn. state line east of New Albin. Add species to your state lists. You will be in Iowa looking north into Minnesota at Poole Slough. No visa required, yet!

Turn right at the only stop sign in the park & scan the treetops west(southwest?) of the wetland. At the Dairyland Power Plant along Hwy 35 south of Genoa, two Peregrines were perched at the nestbox on the southmost stack this noon, March 7. The Lansing Loop, a six hour auto tour along the Misssissippi River in Wis., Minn., & Iowa is March 17. Bald Eagle nests will be visible, & Peregrines may be viewed at several locations along the route, plus those likely to nest on the USBANK building in downtown LaCrosse. The trip is sponsored by the Coulee Region Audubon Society. Lunch on your own in Lansing, Iowa, or bring your own. Meet at the entrance to Goose Island from Hwy 35 at 7AM. Fred Lesher is the leader.
