For anyone who’s interested, there are chimney swifts routinely present around
the Lake Elmo Elementary School. It’s an “old fashioned” brick building with a
chimney. We volunteer at the Lake Elmo Farmer’s Market every Saturday
morning, and they are always there.

didn't walk all the way in last time, and I didn't see any likely waterthrush

For the past two days a juvenile red headed woodpecker has been hanging around
our feeders in Lake Elmo. Brownish head with just a bit of red at the back;
white lower back and rump.

After five years of looking, today we were finally rewarded with a tufted
titmouse at our feeders in Lake Elmo. The bird came to the peanut feeder
several times, and answered when I played (only once) a taped call.

There are several vocal and visible House wrens— as usual— at our home in Lake

Any news today (Saturday). I was hoping to go down there tomorrow if it's
still being seen.

was unmistakeable. So
there are at least two of them. Another couple was there, and saw them too.

Common redpolls appeared at the Saffle feeders in Lake Elmo this morning.
There were only 3 or 4, but this is the first time they’ve appeared this
winter. Last year we had dozens.

Does anyone know if the Golden crowned sparrow is still being seen in Duluth?
And if so, where?

I’ve gotten two emails, ostensibly via mou.net, from “bga...@charter.net”
labeled “important message” and asking me to open a link which DOESN’T seem to
have anything to do with birds. I haven’t opened these suspicious links.

Our yard work was interrupted this morning when we heard a black-billed cuckoo
calling from our oak trees. We were able to track him down— he was concealed
but otherwise cooperative— and get excellent looks through our spotting scope.
First time we’ve ever heard one here in Lake Elmo.

The Saffle pond has been reduced to a wetland by the lack of rain, though there
was a bit more water in it this morning, enough to attract a Solitary Sandpiper
and a pair of Wilson's Snipe. Jeffrey Saffle, Lake Elmo

Last week a big flock of redpolls (about 40 birds) made a brief fly-over to our
treetops in Lake Elmo, then departed. But a couple have returned, and have
been visiting our feeders daily. First redpolls this year.

We found both snowy owls in Rice County this morning, right where Gerald
Hoekstra described them yesterday (thanks!). Other highlights included a big
flock (about 80) of snow buntings at the corner of Dennison Ave and Highway 56,
and a lone horned lark along 190th street.
