Hello, Decided to celebrate this Earth Day by doing some morning birding.
First stop was Bass Ponds and Old Cedar Bridge where I found most of the birds to be expected plus some FOYs: Broad-winged Hawk (BP), White-throated Sparrow (BP), Swamp Sparrow (OCB), and Tree Swallow (BP) (another pair of birders said they also saw Bank and Cliff swallows there today). Then over to Crosby Farm where I again found the usual plus another Broad-winged Hawk, lots of Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and my FOY Belted Kingfishers. I also saw my first real treehugger. She was really passionately hugging a tree for a few minutes. Only on Earth Day. On my bike ride to work I saw some Horned Grebes along the north shore of Lake Harriet (stopped for a few minutes looking for the Sage Thrasher - I saw a photo on Facebook of the Thrasher that said the photo was taken on the 19th - I haven't seen a report since the 14th) ------ 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
