[QUOTE="Edward, post: 1284157, member: 822"] [B]Wednesday 4 June[/B] The last day of a holiday often turns out to be an anti-climax: most of the interesting places have been visited and you have one eye on the journey home, and so it proved on this trip. We started off at Lindenwood Park in Fargo where the highlights were three [B]Tennessee Warblers[/B], hundreds of [B]Cedar Waxwings[/B], [B]White-breasted Nuthatch[/B], [B]Yellow-bellied Sapsucker[/B] and [B]Hairy Woodpecker[/B]. We then headed back to the prairie at Rothsay to see if we could find Greater Prairie-Chickens minus fog. But we were too late in the day and, besides, the wide open spaces which had impressed us so much a few days earlier now seemed very tame indeed after the far more extensive and wilder prairies of North Dakota and we continued south. The next stop was at St John's University near St Cloud, a site for Cerulean Warbler. However, the woods were quiet, the foliage very dense and the mosquitoes ferocious and we soon lost interest, although a male [B]Scarlet Tanager[/B] was nice. We continued to Minneapolis, calling in again at the Wood Lake Nature Center owing to its convenient location near the airport. In addition to the species we saw there a week earlier, we also found a [B]Great Crested Flycatcher[/B], a [B]Hairy Woodpecker[/B], several [B]Indigo Buntings[/B] but again no Least Bittern.
