Speaking of ravens, Common Ravens seems to be Regular in Sherburne, Anoka and Chisago. For any reports south of these counties, however, those of us producing the seasonal reports would very much appreciate details for any birds found. Reports in Washington and Wright have been increasing, but until ravens are established there, we'd even like to have details on reports from locations in those counties.

Today I heard a Common Raven calling on the south side of Princeton, 12+ miles from their typical areas. I also seem to remember an MOU post about a significant number seen on either the Isanti or Chisago CBC. I'm wondering if we're beginning to see evidence of a more southerly distribution, or if ravens simply cover a wide area in their daily feeding/travels. Thoughts?

Can't even find a redpoll, siskin or waxwing in the area this month. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
