[mou] feeder notes

mou net - We are enjoying Red-breasted nuthatches again this year near the
Little Cannon river. They were not seen last year. Also a fair number of
White-throated sparrows moving through. The bald headed cardinals (mites)
are recovering slowly. Gold finches doing their amazingly rapid transition
to winter plumage.Alden

[mou] Questions about an Eastern Bluebird, and about night migration...

Hello,
 
I'm hoping that someone has a few spare moments to answer some questions:

   Last weekend in Ray (darn near Canada), MN, we saw a stunning Eastern 
Bluebird; his coloring was vivid and normal - except that his cheek and eyebrow 
areas were stark white!  He was accommodating, providing a long look from all 
angles.  I couldn't take my eyes off him, as he looked so exotic!  How common 
is this color variation?
   I am fascinated by reports of people hearing flocks of migrating birds 
overhead at night, for I have never experienced it.  Can I do anything to 
increase my chances of hearing these flocks?  For instance, is there a certain 
condition or time that's better?  Or is it merely right place at the right 
time when these night-time flocks are heard?

Any input on these questions will be appreciated.  Thank you, and good birding 
to all!

Christine Olson - Chisholm   



Peace

[mou] birds

2003-09-28 Thread Anthony X. Hertzel
Mike Henderickson just called me to say he found both a Sabine's Gull 
and a Pomarine Jaeger off Park Point in Duluth. He saw the birds from 
the end of Wisconsin Point but both were seen to fly into Minnesota.

Over the years I've found that night migration is especially common =
along rivers.
