Hi I was on Gary Swanson’s phenology hike this morning. He has one every Wednesday morning at the Coon Rapids dam on the Anoka County side at 8 a.m. We saw Tennessee, Nashville and Chestnut sided warblers as well as red eyed vireos and several other species. What was most interesting today was when Gary spotted a Juvenile Merlin chasing Bluejays around and at one point one of them chased the Merlin. We watched his non stop action for over half an hour . We were worried that he would get worn out he was so active. I have some photos on my flickr page at this link. It was just a beautiful morning. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/ <https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/> Ron Taube Coon Rapids ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
