May 14, 20137:00 am - 11:30 am While leading a walk at the Rapids Lake unit this morning, we observed many of the birds previously posted by John. Plus a number of additional species. We hiked the small loop trail, to the South of the visitor center. Followed by a hike to the spillway, which is about 2 miles North of the visitor center. Here are a few of the additional species our group observed: American White PelicanYellow-throated VireoBlue-gray GnatcatcherVeeryAmerican Pipit - 40 plus were observed along the freshly burned field, just West of the visitor center along the entrance road. These were observed at 6:30 am and were no longer present when I left the area at 11:30 pm.Clay-colored SparrowField SparrowLark Sparrow - These appear to be nesting near the visitor center again this year.White-throated SparrowIndigo Bunting Craig MandelMinnetonka, Hennepin [email protected] ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
