Hi Birders, Yesterday evening I refound the *Bell's Vireo* at the same spot as last year (near Lake Nokomis). Due to the wind (I believe) it was not entirely cooperative. I had to wait well over half an hour to catch a brief glimpse, although I heard it calling several times. It was favoring the dense undergrowth south of the BIG, burned tree stump last night.
Also present was a flock of *Cedar Waxwings, Forsters Tern* (pretty sure) *Eastern Kingbirds* (in the mud on the shore) a* Yellow Warbler* and several * Baltimore Orioles* among the usual suspects. Bonus bird was a *Warbling Vireo* at 20 feet(FOY) on the way back to the car. Next, it was down to the airport where the *Mockingbird* was at the same spot as last year and very cooperative. See other posts for specific directions. I recommend sitting at the cul-de-sac facing the obelisk like sign until you spot it. It took less than a minute for me last night. Then I drove up and got 20 feet from the mocker on the fence. Big thanks again to Diana Doyle for finding these birds! -- Sincerely, Jim Ryan Saint Paul's Westside -- Your life is what your thoughts make it. - Marcus Aurelius -- ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
