Hello, I decided to spend the day birding the Twin Cities metro area.
Lake Harriet: C. Loon and a few Red-breasted Mergansers Lake Calhoun: Dozen Red-breasted Mergansers and a C. Loon Lake Nokomis: 1 Red-necked Grebe and 2 C. Loons Coon Rapids Dam: nothing - water is moving far too fast Wood Lake: The usual suspects plus 5 Hermit Thrushes and a Brown Creeper Old Cedar Avenue: Lots of Scaup and Coot out from the deck. Bass Ponds: The usuals plus a Winter Wren, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Fox Sparrows, and a Phoebe in the parking lot. 180th Street Marsh area: not much - missed the Shrikes even though I was on the lookout for them - oh well, have to try again 4 FOYs (RN Grebe, Wren, H. Thush, YB Sapsucker) Pied-billed Grebes at all four lakes and lots and lots of Song Sparrows everywhere No Kinglets or YR Warblers today ---- Derek Bakken [email protected] ornitholature.blogspot.com ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
