[mou-net] Adult Northern Goshawk in Kandiyohi County

[mou]

(Posted by Daniel Orr  via moumn.org)

About 4:30 today I was driving east on MN9 about 0.5 mi west of US71 and had a 
larger 
raptor fly across the road from north to south a couple hundred yards in front 
of me. From 
the overall shape and long tail I thought it had to be a Northern Goshawk. Once 
I got 
stopped and got binoculars on it I was able to see a uniformly dark back and 
tail, slightly 
darker primaries and no white on rump. The wings were shorter and broader than 
a 
Northern Harrier. I was not able to get a good look at the head due to the 
angle away from 
me that the bird was flying.

The book to get is the Princeton Guide to the Birds of Peru by Thomas 
Schulenberg. I don't know of much else other than the 2001 Clements Guide. The 
Princeton Guide is also available as an app. 

Best regards.

Hi All—The Birds of Peru is essential.  I placed a link in my book store on
my blog. Note a good discount on the Kindle digital edition.  You can also
access the hardcopy through this link:

the two best bird guides to take with me?


Thank you for your help.

[mou-net] Sax-Zim birding, Monday

[linda whyte]

If the weather holds, Sax-Zim festival-goers should be in for especially
nice birding this year! After enjoying Sunday, a Greater Black-backed Gull,
which stood up at the outer end of the Duluth canal breakwater, we headed
up Homestead Road toward Knife River Road, in search of Bohemian Waxwings.
About 1/4 mile south of Clover Valley Road, a flock of over 60 of them,
perched right on the side of Homestead Road, some of them descending from a
deciduous tree down into the shrubs at eye-height, giving fabulous looks.
There was another, smaller flock along Knife River Road, just near the
intersection as well. That , and the good road conditions, made us hopeful
for Bog sightings.
We were not disappointed, as Monday birding gave ample color and song:
Purple Finches, Gold Finches, Pine Siskins, Common Redpolls, Pine
Grosbeaks, Evening Grosbeaks, and White-winged Crossbills. As to be
expected, we missed many of the other Bog specials; we rarely get to see
all of them in one day. That, however, makes the perfect excuse for our
regular repeat visits to enjoy this lovely, wild habitat!
Many thanks to all of you who maintain the Welcome Center and the various
feeders, to all the patient and welcoming residents, and to anyone who
supports the preservation of the Bog.
Linda Whyte
