Hello, I think that this is a confusing area to describe to people so I got a map and a photo of the area the Mockingbird usually sings from.
The large sign (with the blue) is where the Mockingbird spent most of its time singing last year (I saw it twice singing from the brown brick about 2 feet from the top). http://picasaweb.google.com/spottedtowhee/Mou#5337696739545808242 Google Map of the area (this map is focused on the Southwest corner of the MPLS Airport (just north of the Mall of America). You can get to here from 24th Avenue or from 66th street and hwy 77 (cedar ave) http://picasaweb.google.com/spottedtowhee/Mou#5337696738365319698 Be aware that I do not know of a good place to park around there so you may have to make a pass or two to find the bird (then find a place to park). -- Derek Bakken [email protected] ornitholature.blogspot.com Please contribute your sightings to our list; it is only as good as members make it!
