The Lakes Area Birding Club Field Trip on 5/28/13 was held at Rainbow Resort.
The trip was lead by Steve Midthune and Nancy Henke, club members. The field
trip covered the resort grounds and Rainbow Trail system, mid morning to early
afternoon.
The highlight was for the group to see the red-headed woodpecker which was
sighted on resort grounds (I have seen it everyday for 1 1/2 weeks), so glad
the group could also see it. The olive-sided flycatcher was also seen on the
grounds. The warblers and many of the other birds were seen on the trail
system.
We invite other groups to come out see some of these beautiful birds.
