...new friend Sue Arnold visiting from Indianapolis and I came across this bird in the Sax Zim Bog, foraging alongside the Admiral Road in the willow barrens--if that would be a good description--south of the power line corridor as we approached the Sax Road from the north. This is in St. Louis County, west of Hwy. 7 between Cotton and Virginia, MN. We were hopeful of more individuals but the road otherwise was hopping with palm and yellow-rumped warblers, ground-feeding then flying into seedlings and shrubs, juncos, robins.
In the yard not far south in Meadowlands Twp. I had Harris' sparrow, fox sparrow, white-crowned sparrow and junco all foraging in dust and grass alongside the parked car early this morning. At this time of the year the ground seems to cook with ground-feeding southbound migrant birds. *Tanya Beyer* http://www.epiphaniesafield.com/home-page.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
