While Olmsted County (p. 244) lacks a natural lake or a sewage pond, we’ll be kept busy searching the many reservoirs for waterfowl and shorebirds.

There are wooded county parks to search for migrants and breeding woodland birds. Some early possibilities include a spot for Acadian Flycatcher and Louisiana Waterthrush. (Base: Rochester.)
