As we put the itinerary together there is still space for people to join
the MOU "Birding the Bend" trip to Blue Earth and Nicollet counties on
May 22-23. This should be right around peak warbler time in the lower MN
River Valley, which means lots of migrants! Shorebird habitat is also
appearing in several places, which means we should have a decent chance
of seeing several species (including godwits and large plovers). In
addition to expected migrants, we should also be able to find our local
specialties, including Kentucky and Cerulean Warblers, Whip-poor-will,
both Yellow-billed and Black-billed Cuckoos, and Least Bittern to name a
few.
Base North Mankato both nights. Those interested please email me at
[email protected]. This is a free MOU trip; the only expenses are
food, lodging, and gas (expense shared between participants).
