[mou-net] Request for assistance - recordings of migrating Mourning Warbler songs

[MOU admin]

(Posted by Jay Pitocchelli  via moumn.org)

I am writing once again to post an opportunity to participate in a Citizens
Science Project that involves recording migrating Mourning Warbler songs.  I
am interested in whether different song populations of Mourning Warblers
(Western, Eastern, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) migrate together or separately
to their respective areas of the species’ breeding range.   All you need is
a smartphone with a voice recording app and some luck.  The web page link
below describes the project and how to make recordings on your Smartphone in
more detail.   There is also a link to the map with last year’s results
based on recordings from many volunteers.

Please send song recordings to the Mourning Warbler Sound Lab
(jpitocchATanselm.edu).  

I would really appreciate your help and contributions to this Citizens
Science Project.

[mou-net] Detroit Lakes Area Birding

[Paul Kammen]

Apologies - I changed my email address and somehow the message was jumbled. Not 
the 
most tech-savvy person. Here it is in a more clear form. 

Thanks,
Fr. Paul

Hello birders,

The Star Tribune had a nice feature today on the upcoming Detroit Lakes Bird 
Festival. 

Unfortunately I can't make it to the festival, but I was hoping to get some 
bird photographs 
from the area around the same time. 

I've never birded this part of the state, so was hopeful someone who is 
familiar with the 
area could give me a favorite spot or two for a one night, two day trip. 
(Birding afternoon 
one day, morning to mid-day the next). 

Right now based on the guides I've found online, my plan would be to spend the 
late 
afternoon at Hamden Slough, and the following morning at Tamarac NWR. My main 
interests are warblers of any kind and shorebirds along with waterfowl. I'd 
heard that 
Agassiz could be good to for owls, especially a SEO, but I did not see it 
listed on the field 
trips for the festival so am not sure if it's worth driving up there too? 

Thanks for any helpful information. Hopefully the Hamden-Tamarac plan is good 
for 
warblers, but if I'm missing anything please let me know. Not sure if 
Blackburnian nest 
there or not, that's a favorite bird. 

Enjoy migration and thanks for the help!
Fr. Paul Kammen, Rosemount

[mou-net] Great Horned Owl young/Hennepin County

[dan]

Hi All—

Photographs of two of three juvenal Great Horned Owls on my blog this
morning: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com.  They are probably about
six weeks old. The birds are on private property near Lake Girard Park in
Bloomington.

Does anyone have an idea about the size of the eyes of the owl on the
right? They seem exceptionally large. Erika thinks its just that that bird
is awake, while the other may be dozing.  Or is it that the right-hand owl
is less well fed?
