Greetings Birders!
John Hockema and Kimberly Emerson are hosting a very special field trip in Rock County the weekend of April 12-14 to honor and HELP the legendary Bob Janssen achieve a major birding milestone. Bob Janssen has seen at least 225 bird species in every Minnesota county except one--Rock County. This is an invitation to join an effort to help Bob achieve yet another amazing milestone during his lifetime of county listing. This trip offers the opportunity to celebrate the life and contributions of one of the state's finest ambassadors to birds by exploring the back roads of Rock County. It will be together that we get to say 'thanks' to Bob for sharing his lifelong dedication to birds with all of us. Some of the target species include Tundra Swan, Cackling Goose, Wild Turkey, Willet, Osprey, Pileated Woodpecker, and Smith’s Longspur. Bob only needs 3 species to reach his goal. Many hands make light work, so all are welcome. Those attending are asked to RSVP to [email protected] by April 1st so John and Kim have an idea of how many people will be attending and so they can assign search areas and target species accordingly. The search will begin Friday, April 12th and run through Sunday the 14th. Join the fun for one day or all!
