Is anyone willing to sell a pair of used binoculars? My cousin is interested in one; a beginner pair is fine.
But I do have a few birds to report: I talked with a FWS employee who saw a Chipping Sparrow in Waseca County (12 miles south of Waseca, if I am not mistaken) today. I asked him more about it, and he said he was within 15 yards of it and noticed the bright red cap. When asked about any notable dot on the chest, he said he did not notice one. Also at the same site was a singing Eastern Meadowlark and a Northern Harrier. The overwintering Fox Sparrow was seen again today at the MVNWR Visitor's Center (Bloomington, Hennepin Co.) I also had a Brown Creeper that overwintered in my neighborhood. Numbers of Cackling and Greater-white Fronted Geese, along with a Ross's Goose and numerous Sandhill Cranes, have been reported in WI over the past 1-2 weeks. Keep your eyes open...
