For many years there have been wintering White-throats in downtown Minneapolis,usually near the Government Center.Since I retired in 2001, I have not been there very much.Yesterday I saw 2 White-throats(there may have been more) on the South side of the center with a group of House Sparrows. Also this week saw a Robin on the St Paul campus of the U of Minn. a Coopers Hawk in Falcon Hts park,a Pileated at Roselawn Cemetary and a Mourning Dove and Red-breasted Nuthatch showed up at our feeder for the first time in a month. Great Horned Owls are hooting near the campus and near Cleveland and Roselawn in Roseville. Manley Olson
