A Sora Rail in the backyard picked up by my dog! (a whippet, not a sporting dog) He gently carried the bird over to me. I took it to Wild Life Rehab which was then at the U of M in St. Paul. Poor thing was missing its primary flight feathers so could not migrate south. He was flown via NW Airlines down south to another re-hab center where he stayed till his feathers grew back and he was then released. It was a very satisfactory ending for all concerned, especially the Sora.

Got me thinking about unusual locations: * Parking lot: Gray-crowned Rosy Finches in Cloquet, MN parking lot * Yard: tie between Cattle Egret and Prairie Falcon, north of Princeton, MN * Work: Lark Sparrow * Restaurant: tie between BB Magpie & Golden Eagle * Hotel: Black-throated Magpie-Jay (business trip in Mexico many years ago, probably not unusual for residents). How about you?
