I birded down to Freeborn and Mower counties and back this weekend, on Saturday morning I found my first lifer in Rice Co., a Sedge Wren in a field on the west side of Union lake by I35 and CR 19 by Northfield, found a ton of other birds in that stretch. The second lifer was a pair of Black Terns on Everson Lake off of SR 13 in Waseca Co. I watched them fly around the lake a few times and they were landing on the east side of the lake, the lake is basically surrounded by cattails and one landed on the edge of the cattails and stayed there for awhile, I also saw one catch a small minnow and then present it to the other, they seemed like a mated / mating pair and they might have a nest there.. -- Andrew Longtin Corcoran (Hennepin Co.)
