Word had it that Dickcissels had been seen in Mounds View. I grabbed the camera and made it to an empty field at the NW corner of at 694 and 35-W. I not only found Dickcissels but also Savannah Sparrow and 36 other species. Great morning!!

In June, a team from Audubon and the Raptor Center banded 5 young chicks from a American Kestrel box along the Mississippi River. I was fortunate enough to watch from a distance at the quick procedure.

Thursday, I thought I had an Eared Grebe in Lake Pepin, but after further looks, and help from my friends, we decided it was a Horned Grebe.

Came across 2 adult and 2 quite young Killdeer in our hotel parking lot. Spent Saturday night in Guthrie, Oklahoma on the way home and these guys were running around out back.
