Pictures! Really spiffy-looking 2 year old Bald Eagle: http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/134105403 Common Loon, migrating by... http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/134105406 3 Northern Flickers, doing with wicka-wicka-wicka call http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/134105407 Adult Red-tailed Hawk (eastern form): http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/134105408 Turkey Vulture http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/134105409 Although I'd love to count the raptors until the end of the season, I will teaching a field ornithology course soon (for the spring term), then will be off to do some breeding bird transects & surveys throughout the prairie potholes of North Dakota for the summer months. This current spring has been so incredible, and it's just amazing how much one learns about birds and bird ID, when you're in the field, there in-the-moment, soaking up the birds as they go by! I'll be sure to keep in touch from time to time, share some more photos here and there - and hope to see you at Hawk Ridge next fall :-) Good birdwatching, Erik Bruhnke Duluth, MN *NATURALLY AVIAN* www.pbase.com/birdfedr www.naturallyavian.blogspot.com [email protected] ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
