This morning Bill Marengo found a Western Kingbird along the Sand Prairie Road south of Henderson in Sibley County. As of 12:30, when I saw the bird, it was perched on a telephone wire alongside an Eastern Kingbird. From Hwy. 169, go north on Hwy. 19 toward Henderson. Before the town, turn sharp left onto 316th St. Follow 316th up the hill and past some farm houses. After a mile or so you will see Sand Prairie Road to your south (left). Follow Sand Prairie Road as it bends west once and then a second time...the area where the bird was found was after this second bend. Look for Eastern Kingbirds.
Also, this morning at Rush River Park, I found a singing Cerulean Warbler near the campgrounds. Follow the main park road into the campground area (past the flagpole) to the first parking area...the bird was singing high in the cottonwoods west of the lot. Also in this same vicinity were a Mourning Warbler, Northern Parula, and Philadelphia Vireo. Bob Dunlap, Nicollet County
