I'm the one from CO that posted for advice last week. I was very pleased with the response and got some great help. I ended up with an hour at the Wilke Unit of the NWR. Though I did not find any northern midwest specialties that I was hoping for, still I had the best view of a Merlin that could be dreamed of! It stayed perched on a branch just of the trail only about 15' above ground while I gawked. It clearly was working up it's appetite and deciding if it wanted goldfinch or downy woodpecker for breakfast. Of course in general I was gawking at all the swampy areas your state has.
If you're ever in CO, post to co-birds and I'm sure we will recipricate! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://moumn.org/pipermail/mou-net_moumn.org/attachments/20080913/be6860e0/attachment.html
