Bob Janssen and I hosted a three day sparrow workshop this last weekend. During
the workshop we saw 13 species of sparrows and a total weekend bird list of 80.
These were great numbers when you consider the record breaking hot weather. I
think the best sparrow of the entire workshop was good
Just a reminder to those who have signed up for Saturday's MOU Trip along Mille
Lacs Lake:
We will meet at 7:30 AM at the Dairy Queen on 169 in Onamia. I anticipate
birding the west side of Mille Lacs Lake, perhaps covering 1-2 other locations
nearby depending upon time. Study your loons!
Had an all white bird with dark wings flit through my yard in Bloomington.
Hope it's not a sign of a harsh winter!

This morning I took a walk through the two-year-old, 70-acre
Coneflower Prairie here in the Linnaeus Arboretum at Gustavus Adolphus
College in St. Peter and found 19 Le Conte's Sparrows. All of these
birds were in the southern half of this rectangular prairie, and all but

Karl Bardon and I had a few interesting non-raptor sightings today,
both from our Lakeside apartment vigil as well as Hawk Ridge. A
