'Rare Regular' in Minnesota - Five or fewer records in Rice County for the Spring season

Seen north of Morristown, south of CR 12 in a low wet spot in a field on the east side of CR 72, while out birding with Gene Bauer and Dave Bartkey. Although the bird was first seen fairly close to the road, it slowly walked out into the field and away from the road. This image was digiscoped with a Swarovski ATX95 with a Sony Nex-7.
