Paul Egeland, Esther Gesick and I spent the weekend in Yellow Medicine, Lac Qui Parle and part of Chippewa county. Some highlights:
Spotted Towhee located in the eastern half of the Lac Qui Parle county park on Saturday. This park also held many of the usual sparrows, kinglets and late season warblers. A single Snow Goose and Red-necked Phalarope at the Dawson sewage ponds. Four species of geese including 39 White-fronted, two Ross's and a handful of Cackling at the Clarkfield sewage ponds. Miedd Lake in Yellow Medicine county was still hosting shorebirds including both Yellowlegs, Dunlin and Dowitchers (too distant and silent to make a positive I.d, but probably Long-billed) along with several hundred ducks, mostly Green-winged Teal.
