Refound the Acadian Flycatcher, on Mon 5/31, at Upper Sioux State Park that 
Bill Marengo found on May 18th.

> Acadian Flycatcher - Upper Sioux Agency State Park, Yellow Medicine County
> This bird was discovered on Monday morning. It is located near the 
> Riverside
> campground. Take the road down to the Riverside campground. Near the 
> bottom
> there is an out-house on your left. To the right is a trail-head that 
> splits
> into two trails. Take the left trail. The bird was on territory after 
> about
> 50 to 100 yards from the trail-head. It is very vocal (singing PIT-SEE) 
> and
> very active, staying mostly about 20-30 feet up in the trees and rarely
> sitting still for longer than a minute. It was still present on Tuesday.

Also refound on the same day the Prothonotary Warbler that he found on the 
21st at the Lower Sioux Agency historic site.

> Prothonotary Warbler - Redwood County
> This bird was found Tuesday at the Lower Sioux Agency Historic site along
> county road 2 about 3 miles east of its intersection with US Highway 71.
> Hike the river trail east of the interpretive center down to the river. 
> The
> trail makes a complete loop around the historic site and is rather steep 
> in
> places.  Listen for the Prothonotary along the backwaters of the river. It
> was very vocal when I saw it mid-afternoon.

The Eastern Screech Owl he found was calling away (by a very small road 
pulloff) and was keeping time with a Whip-poor-will accross the road,  In 
fact that road had one of the best Whip-poor-will demonstrations we had 
heard in years.  At least 7 different birds were singing along Chippewa Cty 
Road 40's 3 mile length between State Highway 212 and the Renville Cty line. 
And no traffic along the asphalt road.

> A cooperative Eastern Screech Owl along Chippewa county road 40 about .25
> mile west of the Renville county line (or about 200 yards downstream from
> the MN River public access).
