I observed the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher this afternoon (August 2) at 4:30 p.m. in Dodge County. ?It was easily found as it moved from wire to wire along 555th St. just west of Cty. 1.
I stopped by the Claremont Sewage Pond and found a few shorebirds: ?1 Pectoral, 1 Baird's, 1 Spotted, and 7 Least Sandpipers. I stopped by the Randolph Industrial Park (284th St. off Hwy 56) looking for grassland sparrows. ?I found instead a group of about a dozen Gray Patridge on 284th St., West of Dressler. ?They flushed from the road into the grass, though the adult froze at the edge of the road and allowed me a nice look through my scope. ?The time was near dusk at 8:10 p.m. Good birding, Linda Sparling ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
