Kirsten and I headed north from Faribault this afternoon for Umore Park, east and north of Farmington. We drove to Farmington, turned east on CR 66 to Biscayne, go N. to the road on east side with "No Entry" sign which we had planned to enter to bird in that area - very good last year. We then drove north two miles and two miles east and then south, a half mile in order to go west on the "No Entry" road. We didn't go far south because the road had so many frost boils, and was awfully bumpy, so we turned back. So we didn't get to do any birding in Umore Park today.
Have any of you birders found good birding in this park, in some other areas? We would appreciate if you would share them with us. Also, we stopped in Farmington to see if we could find the Eurasian Collared Doves. We drove the area, thoroughly, where we had seen them in past years, but could not locate any birds of this species. We even talked with a man working on his motorcycle in the alley, but he could not give us any helpful information. Have any of you birders found any Eurasian Collared Doves there recently? If so we would appreciate letting other birders know. Rev. Forest V. and Kirsten M.
