I am a conservative, my wife is a liberal. Her friends always ask ³How does
that work?²
Usually it does. She doesn¹t let me listen to Rush Limbaugh, I don¹t let
her listen to Garrison Keillor.
The thing that really strains a marriage are cats. She is pro cat(and so we
have three). I hate
Horribleseeing the results of cat kills makes me sick. We don't have any,
but our inconsiderate neighbors do and they let them run all over the place. I
am constantly chasing them out of the yard. I bought a have-a-heart trap and
occasionally get one. I call animal control when they
I suppose that Conservative doesn't like hawks and owls either.

A good warbler morning along Minnehaha Creek E. of Lake Hiawatha with 13
species.
Highlight was a black-throated blue warbler (male) just west of the 34th Ave
Bridge, seen several times. It was present at 7:15 and at 9:30 at the same
location: south side of creek, in the woods just west of the
Again this morning there was at least one Buff-breasted Sandpiper at the north
end of White Bear Lake (Ramsey Co.). It was part of a mix of shorebirds that
included a Black-bellied Plover. The viewing location can be reached by
parking on a side street where Northwest Ave. and Grand Ave. meet
I'm not conservative, but hawks and owls are native and it's a natural cycle.
I hate it when they get the birds in my yard, but it is at least something
birds are aware of and used to escaping from. Even Blue Jays have a warning
call when hawks come in. Cats are not native (I believe they
Cats are not only not native--they are literally subsidized killers. When
people maintain their populations artifically, by protecting them, providing
veterinary services, and providing supplemental food, cats are maintained at
unnatural and unsustainable levels. A couple of decades ago when I was
I see no valid reason to continue this subject on the list. If the parties
involved would like to discuss it off list that is fine.

Hi everyone,
I counted 12 Buff-breasted Sandpipers at the Wagner Sod Farm east of
Faribault today around noon. This sod farm is located on the NW corner of the
intersection of Ibson Ave. and Hwy. 60. Said intersection is approximately 6.5
miles east of the Faribault city limits. I believe
Between 75 to 100 Great Egrets arrive to roost on Grey Cloud Island. Most
arrive after shortly after sunset. Viewing is from Grey Cloud Trail where the
road crosses from Upper Grey Cloud Island to Lower Grey Cloud Island. This is
in the SW corner of Washington County. At the same time between
As it turned out, yesterday's count of nearly 3300 Cedar Waxwings
turned out to be merely a precursor for today's action. Starting at
sunrise this morning, Anna Peterson, Paul Dolan-Linne, Josh Bednar,
and I did our best to stay afloat, at times barely able to keep up
with the deluge. We counted

My swift count at Cedar Manor School found only two birds entering from 7:30pm
to 8:30pm.
Also seen, were 25 robins heading South and a FOY nighthawk. What a joy to
watch!
