Frank, I have done considerable birding in Southwestern Minnesota throughout the summer and especially during August and September. I have covered Lyon, Lac qui Parle, Lincoln and Pipestone counties pretty thoroughly. Eastern Kingbirds have been abundant. By abundant, I mean that I saw so many that I started ignoring them! Unfortunately, I have not seen a Western kingbird at all.

Over the past 5 years I have lived in this area I've had many sightings--but not this year--maybe no more than 10 birds since Spring. Has anyone one else noticed this in their area? Any ideas and responses would be much appreciated. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ----- No virus found in this message.
