October 14, 2011 Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter Chisago County Birding Day Field Trip Report
Enjoyed a full day of birding in Chisago county today. Our group checked some of the lakes in the Southern portion of the county and made stops at Interstate and Wild River State Parks and the Sunrise Unit of Carlos Avery WMA. There was very little waterfowl observed in the county. But we did find a few groups of Sparrows and Junco's. Especially at the feeding station at Wild River State Park. Here are a few of the species we observed today: Bald Eagle - 10+ Northern Harrier Sharp-shinned Hawk Bonaparte's Gull Red-bellied Woodpecker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Pileated Woodpecker Common Raven Red-breasted Nuthatch Ruby-crowned Kinglet Eastern Bluebird - 50+ Orange-crowned Warbler Vesper Sparrow Fox Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Craig Mandel [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Minnetonka, Hennepin County ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
