Southern Dogface
Went walking in Southern MN prairie remnants looking for strays and migrants, and the search was a success! Southern Dogface is a lifer for me, and the first sighting in MN in at least 10 years from what I can determine. It would not sit still for a photo and I chased it for 45 minutes. A single out of focus shot is the best I could get.
