Paul Egeland, Esther Gesick & I birded from Chaska down to Mankato and back today. Our best find was a Townsend's Solitaire at the Kasota Prairie area in LeSueur county. Directions: Go south from the town of Kasota about a mile to Kasota Twsp road 140. Turn right(west) and drive another mile. The bird was foraging among juniper trees on both sides of the road. Otherwise, things were mostly quiet with the exception of four flocks of Snow Buntings in Nicollet and Sibley counties.
