http://www.exploreminnesota.com/travel/enewsletter/index.aspx A GLOSSY IBIS, along with at least 22 WHITE-FACED IBIS, were found in Lac Qui Parle County on April 29th. They were initially found southwest of the town of Madison, near the junction of Lac Qui Parle County Road 14 and 221st Street. Throughout the day, they worked their way southward, but as of this morning they were back at the original location. To view these birds, begin in Madison, travel south for two miles on U.S. 75 to County Road 14, and then six-tenths of a mile west.
Also of interest was the SPRAGUE'S PIPIT, also reported April 29th, at the east end of Lake Byllesby in Dakota County. It was seen at a gravel pit on the north side of the road. This bird has not been reported since its discovery.
