Hi everyone, I went for a short, quick walk this morning at Cannon River Wilderness Park, westside, hoping for an early Louisiana Waterthrush and was rewarded for my efforts with one singing on territory already. I have had these nesting here for the past several years but as with a lot of species this spring, this is my earliest date. Other birds of note were a couple of Purple Martins on the north side of Wells Lake and 27 Greater White-fronted Geese still hanging around at Sprague Lake, located in the SW part of Rice County. Good birding! Dave Bartkey Faribault,MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
