Eloise Jasken and I saw a Northern Mockingbird this morning ~11am at the Minnesota River Valley Refuge Headquarters (off 34th & 494). The bird was flying around in the area with the bluebird houses near the visitor center. Around 11:20am it flew off in the direction of the Hilton Hotel. We happened to be at Wood Lake (Thurs. 5/19) at the time a mockingbird was seen there, but weren't able to see it. Maybe the gods have a way of making things right. We also saw today in the same area as the mockingbird a singing scarlet tanager, blackburnian warbler, and indigo bunting. Jim
