[mou] Neotropic Cormorant and Lark Bunting in Lac Qui Parle.

[Bill Unzen]

On August 1st and 2nd I observed a Neotropic Cormorant at the Bolson Slough
(aka Bolland's) rookery in southwest Lac Qui Parle County.

This slough is located at the junction of CR12 and CR9 in section 36 of
Mehurin Township and is bordered by the Bolson Slough WPA and the Sweetwater
WMA.

The bird was last seen late Thursday morning flying northwest away from the
slough with a small group DC cormorants. The majority of cormorants that
nest here usually leave to forage elsewhere and since the Neo is associating
with them it could likely return.



Also on August 2nd a Lark Bunting was found foraging on a gravel minimum
maintenance road in Augusta Twp. From Marietta go 1 mile east on Hwy40 then
about 0.8 mile north on 131st Avenue. It was an adult male still in almost
full breeding plumage.
