Another reference point is a large rock pile by the fence along the W side of the road. Use care when walking though this area, however, since yesterday I chanced upon a female Chestnut-collared on a nest with 4 eggs hidden in the grass. This could be the only nest of this species in MN this year, since I was there twice with 2 MBW groups (June 5 and June 10) and the pair here was the only one we could find along Felton Prairie's 2-mile-long "Longspur Road". In former years this species was more numerous here, and it now seems only a matter of time before it is extirpated as a breeding species in the state.

Curt Rawn and I refound the Chestnut-Collared Longspur at Felton Prairie.
It's about 2 1/2 miles north of 26 straight east of a large puddle in the
road
