Yesterday and today I have had one to two female Purple Finches on the feeder. Also in the yard: Pileated, Red-bellied, and Flicker woodpeckers and a flock of Juncos. I haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary in my wanderings. I am seeing a lot of birds on Minnesota River.
This time of year it is easy to see how buckthorn is extensively infesting our woods. With few exceptions, if a plant has not lost its leaves or turned color, it is probably not native. All of that green understory in the woods is composed of invasive buckthorn and honeysuckle. -- Steve Weston On Quigley Lake in Eagan, MN [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
