Hello, all, My wife and I will be visiting Minnesota this September. She is a wildlife artist and was accepting into the Birds in Art show in Wausau, Wis. We are in Wausau through Sunday, Sept. 12, and need to head to Wyoming for the next exhibition, so we will have most of Sunday afternoon and Monday morning to look for birds before heading west.
I've put together a wishlist using the MOU's checklist. The owls, woodcock, woodpecker, rails and grouse are our target species, but everything is icing. I realize that some others may be out of season, having already migrated south or not arriving in Minnesota. If anyone can offer some reliable sites for finding these species in September - and if we are looking during any hunting season (I've been mistaken for game before) - we would be most grateful. Without further ado, here's the list: Spruce Grouse Sharp-tailed Grouse Yellow Rail Black Rail Upland Sandpiper Hudsonian Godwit American Woodcock Northern Hawk-owl Barred Owl Great Gray Owl Chuck-will's-widow Pileated Woodpecker Blue-headed Vireo Boreal Chickadee Brown-headed Nuthatch Winter Wren Warblers, especially Blue-winged Warbler Connecticut Warbler Rusty Blackbird White-winged Crossbill Many thanks in advance, and I hope to meet some of you in our travels.
