Permission has been granted for people to look for the BLGR found Saturday in Kandiyohi county, with stipulations. The property owner is concerned about liability so access will only be granted when the pit is OPEN: M-F, 7-5:00 (need to be gone by 5).
The owner is requesting I be the contact person and to keep a list of names and phone numbers of visitors. (Not my preference but understandable). You must check-in with pit personnel when you arrive; they will direct you where to park. I will give you employee names, pit information, and specific location of bird when you contact me. Sorry for the stipulations, but much better than not having permission. My cell is 320-979-9774. A great find for our county; thanks again Josh Watson, John and Chris Hockema. Thanks also to Josh Wallestad for putting this species on our collective radar, and his research on the Blue Grosbeak range expansion in Minnesota.
