Thanks Pastor Al for making this great point. Sharing is the primary reason I'm on this list - I find out about a bird and try to go find it. People have been so helpful with e-mails and this list in pointing me in the right direction to go to find birds of interest. Have a great Christmas,

Re: [mou-net] Glaucous-winged Gull, Duluth

Hey all- I'm not out to rain on anyone's parade, but I might. I'd be really interested to hear the opinions of some West-coast gull-meisters on this individual. From all of the photos I've seen, the color patterns are (obviously) good for Glaucous-winged Gull, but a lot of the structure is iffy. M

[mou-net] Barred Owl, visible, Minnetonka, Hennepin Co

A Barred Owl is visible in the Norway Spruce off our rear deck. It can only be seen from inside the house. You may call to see if it still here before stopping by. It seems to be sleeping. Barred Owls have been regulars in the yard for a year. They nested near by (not found) but not in the box I

[mou-net] E Screech Owl, not present, Minnetonka, Hennepin Co

Many folks have asked about "our" screech owl. I check our video camera every day and the owl has not been in the box. We have not seen the screech owl yet this fall/winter season. Maybe the mild weather has allowed it to stay away from the box. Barred Owls have been regulars in the yard for a y
