Yes, to your point, Dave, I learned that in northern Minnesota, under normal weather circumstances, the "local" birds appeared towards dusk, and the visiting, wintering birds would be more active during the day. JPA John Askildsen Millbrook, New York On 02/04/17, David Klauber wrote:

After unsuccessfully searching for the tufted duck (Swan Lake) and the pink-footed goose (Elda Lake), we drove back east on Dune Rd, seeing a half dozen or more northern harriers, and the still-present Harlequin duck at the inlet. And then we were treated to an immature bald eagle flying over the

Hi All- A discussion on FB mentioned that a RNGR was released by the Wild Bird Fund (WBF) into the Central Park Reservoir this week. In a communication I had with them last night, the WBF confirmed that, in fact, one was released by them to the Reservoir on Wednesday, which happened to be the
