Discovered the presence of an Acadian Flycatcher today in the newly designated
Kraemer Lake-Wildwood County Park WNW of the I94 exit to St. Joseph. Find the
park ~2-3 miles up on CR51 from CR2 underpass of I94. Parking area on the
left...walk on the westward trail along the field/forest edge to the 2nd map
post with "Do No Enter" sign for skiers. Go on the maintained southward trail
for 455 paces and find a subsidiary unmaintained trail that goes south between
two vernal pools (one on the hill level-right the other a deep pool on the
left), look for a small white marker flag that says "Stearns County Parks. The
Acadian was calling often on the SW corner draw of the deep vernal pool and
ranging in the surrounding oak-maple-basswood forest.
Furthermore, a Cerulean Warbler was vocalizing around the deep vernal pool...so
to a Yellow-billed Cuckoo further south where one can find a sitting bench
overlooking an sort of open ridge cut. Lots of vireos, tanagers, and wood
thrush to name a few more.
