Craig Mandel and I waited for the White-winged Dove at Warren Wegener's home in Burnsville (Dakota County) this morning from 7:45-9:30. The bird did not show up, however, there was lots of other bird activity at the feeders, with the highlight being a Sharp-shinned Hawk that cruised through. (Hopefully he doesn't have a hankering for doves...) There were many other birders there as we left; hopefully they will post if they see it. The White-winged Dove was last seen yesterday for a while starting at 8:35am.
As we left, a Northern Shrike was chasing a bird in mid-air. Pretty sweet. We also checked the MSP Airport in Bloomington (Hennepin Co.) for the previously reported Snowy Owl at 10am. We did not find him, neither. Good birding!
