Jen Vieth mentioned seeing a pair in that vicinity many weeks ago, but I don't believe she ever had time to post it; she knew I was looking to see one, and told me to keep an eye out on my way home from Carpenter Nature Center (Hastings area) to St. Paul. I never did see them there, but finally saw one at Randolph Industrial Park. Linda Whyte
