I spent yesterday birding Blue Earth county. As others reported yesterday in other areas of the state, migrants were numerous.
Minneopa State Park had numerous Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Flickers, Hermit Thrush and Fox Sparrows. Waterfowl were still plentiful at the Born WMA(Indian Lake), the southern end of Madison Lake and at the Cobb River WPA. Some birds of note: Red-necked Grebe - Madison Lake Horned Grebe - Madison Lake, Lura Lake Forster's Terns - Madison Lake Sandhill Crane - Minneopa State Park Sora - calling after sunset at Cobb River WPA American Bittern - one flew in after sundown at Cobb River WPA I struck out looking for Short-eared Owls. Three likely places to look for this bird right now would be (1) Cobb River WPA, (2) Roberts WPA and (3) Lincoln WPA.
