My friend Dave called me at 9:00 pm on Tuesday and demanded we look for the winter carnival medallion. Said he knew where it was. Didn¹t find it although I believe we walked past it a few times. While waiting for the final clue in Tony Schmidt park, we heard a Barred Owl calling though. Highlight of the night. A previous post made mention of Creepers. These seem to be very numerous as of late. I find them reliably at the MN Valley NWR just east of the headquarters if anyone is interested. Finally, I¹ve been immersed in TPT¹s Capture Minnesota and can¹t help but notice that birds are very popular. This being the case, it seems odd that the MOU is isn¹t more popular and financially sound. In my coffee-fueled delirium while searching for the medallion it occurred to me that we need an advertising campaign. I suppose a Super Bowl spot is out but what about an MTC bus? I envision a procession of Zombies, carrying limbs and looking un-kept as Zombies do. But the last Zombie is tilting his head as if listening to something. He clutches a pair of binoculars. The tag line says Birding...a hobby to last a lifetime......or maybe a little longer. Then the MOU web site is listed. Everyone gets the MN volunteer; why not the LOON?
