[mou-net] Snowy Owl - NW Polk County

A Snowy Owl was reported this morning at 340 Ave NW and 170th Street NW west of US 75 and south of Warren. This may be the same female snowy that's been spotted the past couple of months in this neighborhood. We had approximately 200 Common Redpolls and a dozen female Pine Grosbeaks at the Audubo

Hi Birders, Blue Jays also do a mean Red-shouldered Hawk. We have both on our property and I will not count a Red-shoulder unless I see it. Usually, if it's from the woods it's a Bluejay--from the sky it's a Red-shoulder. By the way, I got my FOY Red-shouldered Hawk yard bird today. Good Birdi

Re: [mou-net] Mimic

That's a good point. Birder's need to be wary of the Starling's capability to do really good imitations. I've heard them do a perfect Killdeer, the scream of a Red-tailed Hawk, Eastern Peewee and Red-bellied woodpecker. If I hear a bird, especially out of season, out of range or out of normal ha

Stopped at a gas station in nowhere WI, have listened to a Peewee, Robin & House Sparrow - all from Starlings' mouths. Wonder how many species they can imitate? My favorite was a Pine Siskin in Milwaukee 15+ years ago. Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Sent from my iPhone Join or Leave mou-ne
