I had an Alder FC calling off Sugarland Rd across from entrance to 
Sugarland Rd Special Park this morning around 11 AM. I never saw the 
bird and could not chase it because it was calling from a *private yard. 
I was able to record the call however, and its a pretty exact match for 
Alder call on Stokes Eastern Bird CD. Also had a Swamp Sparrow, in back 
left hand corner of park near the private pond. Pond shoreline held a 
couple Spotted and one Solitary SP. Shoreline was not as exposed as I 
hoped it would be.

*If heading in direction of Hughes Rd on Sugarland Rd, this is first 
house on left after passing small church and cemetery at intersection of 
Sugarland Rd and Sugarland Ln. Sugarland Rd Special Park has no signage. 
Its just a right hand entrance into a large farm field about 20 yards 
pass this house. Google "Sugarland Special Park MNCPPC" if interested. I 
always stick to the perimeter of field to not mess up the farmer's crops.
