I had to go to Grand Forks today April 1 and it was a really good birding trip: 1- on the way over to Grand Forks I saw a very large nest in an area where I had never seen one before. both times there was a bald eagle within 50 -100 yards of the nest. The area is just to the west of the last Beach Ridge in an area where there is many restored wetlands in a 2-3 section area of CRP. @bald eagle- nest? also in the area on the way back: @2 rough-legged hawks @ 20 lapland longspurs @sandhill cranes Walking (!) down a road
Near the start of the "Cut-Across Road" close to the intersection of Highway 220. I also saw a northern shrike. Just south of TRF I saw a female Merlin. ON Monday, March 31 @ one peregrine falcon just south of Ogema @one pheasant just north of Bejou. Sorry about this garbled transmission- but it was really exciting! Happy birding Shelley Steva- Pennington Co. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more http://platinum.yahoo.com
