[mou-net] Gray Catbird in Shoreview (Ramsey County)

I just watched a Gray Catbird drinking from the birdbath at the side of our house! Watched it for several minutes at a distance of about 10 feet. This may very well be a count week bird for the St. Paul CBC. We are in Shoreview, north of Gramsie, just east of a portion of the Snail Lake trail

The Fox Sparrow that Linda Whyte mentioned in a post on Nov 30, 2012, continues to be a regular visitor to the brush pile and the ground under the tube feeder at the Wild River State Park Visitor Center. Good viewing out the large Visitor Center windows. The bird looks good and has not

[mou-net] Shoreview catbird

Three people asked for the location of the catbird in Shoreview. I answered all three, but at least one recipient did not receive my e-mail. Perhaps the large attachment (an inartistic but identifiable photo of the bird) was to blame. If you asked but did not hear from me, let me know. The

[mou-net] Lake Harriet Glaucous Gull, Wednesday

Thanks to Bob Jantzen, Dave Cahlander, and Leslie Marcus, we were able to see the Glaucous Gull on Lake Harriet this afternoon. Lacking a functional scope made it extremely difficult for us to find the bird in the huge flock that was bunched in the middle of the lake. We had gone in hopes of
