Refound the Acadian Flycatcher, on Mon 5/31, at Upper Sioux State Park that
Bill Marengo found on May 18th.
Acadian Flycatcher - Upper Sioux Agency State Park, Yellow Medicine County
This bird was discovered on Monday morning. It is located near the
Riverside
campground. Take the road down to the Riverside campground. Near the
bottom
there is an out-house on your left. To the right is a trail-head that
splits
into two trails. Take the left trail. The bird was on territory after
about
50 to 100 yards from the trail-head. It is very vocal (singing PIT-SEE)
and
very active, staying mostly about 20-30 feet up in the trees and rarely
sitting still for longer than a minute. It was still present on Tuesday.
Also refound on the same day the Prothonotary Warbler that he found on the
21st at the Lower Sioux Agency historic site.
Prothonotary Warbler - Redwood County
This bird was found Tuesday at the Lower Sioux Agency Historic site along
county road 2 about 3 miles east of its intersection with US Highway 71.
Hike the river trail east of the interpretive center down to the river.
The
trail makes a complete loop around the historic site and is rather steep
in
places. Listen for the Prothonotary along the backwaters of the river. It
was very vocal when I saw it mid-afternoon.
The Eastern Screech Owl he found was calling away (by a very small road
pulloff) and was keeping time with a Whip-poor-will accross the road, In
fact that road had one of the best Whip-poor-will demonstrations we had
heard in years. At least 7 different birds were singing along Chippewa Cty
Road 40's 3 mile length between State Highway 212 and the Renville Cty line.
And no traffic along the asphalt road.
A cooperative Eastern Screech Owl along Chippewa county road 40 about .25
mile west of the Renville county line (or about 200 yards downstream from
the MN River public access).
