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).
