A Winter Wren was observed at the Minnesota River Valley NWR Bass Ponds (Long Meadow Lake Unit) this afternoon. The bird was actively foraging in and around the stream in the thicket just downstream of the small bridge, which is east of the entrance shelter.
Also seen: Among other species, Hermit Thrushes, Eastern Phoebes, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Blue-winged Teal. A warning: A large, white dog not on a leash was threatening walkers on the path around the Big Bass Pond just below the farm. Good birding to all...
