Hi All-- For those of you who are not regular followers of my blog ( http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ), this week I have been posting photos taken last Sunday at Hawk Ridge. I went with Gerry Hoekstra and our wives. We had a good time, though relatively few hawks were observed. Highlights included a possible Krider's Red-tailed Hawk and a flock of Lapland Longspurs at Park Point.
One longspur was particularly tame and both of us took photographs of the same individual bird. The results surprised us, how different the same bird looks when taken through different cameras, lenses, and photography software. Take a look at today's blog. Meanwhile, yesterday was a banner day at our water-feature in Rice Co. I banded or saw the following birds: 1 Downy Woodpecker 2 Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) 1 Blue-headed Vireo 1 Black-capped Chickadee 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch 1 White-breasted Nuthatch 1 Swainson's Thrush 8 American Robin 2 Tennessee Warbler 5 Nashville Warbler 1 Magnolia Warbler 6 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota [email protected] http://sites.google.com/site/tallmanorum http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika Two Years Among the Odonates<http://store.blurb.com/ebooks/306785-two-years-among-the-odonates> ".... the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
