Mountain Bluebird in Dakota County

'Casual' in Minnesota - Five or fewer records in Dakota County for the Spring season

This is the bird at Schaar's Bluff found by Carolyn and Ned Winters. The sky was overcast this afternoon, but the dark trees in the background allow the colors to stand out. The bird perched on trees throughout the prairie area, flitting down to the ground periodically to pick up insects.
