My wife and I went birding in Blue Earth, Nicollet, and Le Sueur counties this
weekend. Thought I'd share a few of the birds we saw.
Minneopa State Park, Blue Earth County:
Yellow-throated and red-eyed vireo, blue-winged warblers, lark sparrows,
Franklin's gulls (and one coyote!)
Wildlife Management Area just north of Nicollet, MN and the Nicollet sewage
ponds just south of that town (thanks to Bob Dunlap for his May 14 post):
Forster's and black terns, yellow-headed blackbirds, ruddy ducks, western
meadowlark, bobolink, grasshopper sparrows, short-billed dowitchers, wilson's
phalaropes, lesser yellowlegs, and least sandpipers (and probably other shore
birds, but without a scope...)
Ottawa Bluffs Nature Conservancy area, Le Sueur County:
Blue-winged and Bay-breasted warbler, Wood thrush, yellow-throated vireo
(And thanks to Diana Doyle for posting the Lake Nokomis Bell's vireo, which we
re-found in the same spot at about 7 pm tonight, still singing)
