I am pleased to announce a field trip opportunity on November 3rd in Houston County led by Fred Lesher. He will be focusing on the Mississippi River from the MN side beginning at the rest area at Lock & Dam #7 off Interstate 90/US 14/Hwy 16 just north of La Crescent, MN south along Hwy 26 towards the Iowa border. Species that will be seen include Tundra Swans, waterfowl(including Canvasbacks) and raptors(especially Bald Eagles). This trip is free and open to the public. Those interested should contact Fred at corax6330 at yahoo.com. Birders will meet at the rest area at 8:30am and will bird until about 3pm. This field trip is in conjunction with the Coulee Region Audubon Society but there is plenty of space available at this time. Bob Williams, Field Trip Coordinator
