A nice visit to Felton Prairie this morning netted my 300th Minnesota bird;

Many thanks to all who provided input on my questions. I suppose I should

I spent most of the day searching for Longspurs on the Felton Prairie north of
Clay County 26 with some additional stops on the way home. I totaled 100
