found the first flock of White-throated Sparrows of <BR>>the
fall.<BR>><BR>>On Labor Day, I had a male Coopers Hawk pursuing a female
as they <BR>>flew into my yard. Interesting was the Leopard Frogs were
calling <BR>>in the back yard. While this spring we had great choruses of
Copes <BR>>Gray Treefrogs and American Toads, I heard no Leopard Frogs. But
<BR>>the Leopard Frogs are along the shore in large numbers. I don't
<BR>>know why I missed hearing them.<BR>><BR>>I stopped by 140th
Street marsh in Rosemount to...@dusk. The <BR>>water level is very low, and
quite choked with algae. There
were <BR>>several Lesser Yellowlegs and Pectoral
Sandpipers.<BR>><BR>>The best bird of the day was the Osprey flying
twenty of thirty feet <BR>>high near Snelling and CR C in
Roseville.<BR>><BR>>Steve Weston on Quiggley Lake in Eagan,
