Migration in Sherburne Mille Lacs continues to trickle: Winter Wren today, Sora yesterday, couple of Yellow-rumped; even migrants from a week ago (like Fox Sparrows E. Bluebirds) are negligible. Estimate we are 14-17 days behind currently, my year totals are 40-50+ short of normal.

[mou-net] Spotted Towhee final goodbye?

[mou-net] Ross' Geese, Y-H Blackbird, Brown Co.

I checked the Sleepy Eye WTP's after work this afternoon and there was a flock of about 900 Snow Geese spread out nicely along the eastern berm. I was able to find at least 3 Ross' Geese within the flock. I noticed that the Ross' seem to always be moving about in the flock because their

[mou-net] Pied-billed Grebe in Duluth

While on a lunch break today, I walked to Canal Park and scanned the bay in search of waterfowl. It was a surprisingly-quiet time to be out, in terms of raptors. One adult Bald Eagle was observed migrating overhead. The highlight from today was finding a (first of the year) Pied-billed Grebe way
