[mou-net] Warning for Minneapolis lakes birders

2014-11-12 Thread Gerald Hoekstra
This morning about 10:30 a.m. while I and a few other birders were looking for the Black Scoter on Lake Harriet, someone bashed in the passenger window of my car and stole a backpack off the front seat. The car was parked on Lake Harriet Parkway in an open area, and we were standing only about 75

Since some of you may be uncertain where this is, Cindy Kim Risen relocated them on the lake at 23rd Ave East: from either I-35 northbound (no exit southbound) or London Rd, follow 21st Ave East as it curves down the hill to the lake and becomes 23rd Ave East. -Kim Eckert On Nov 12,

[mou-net] Black Scoter at Black Dog Lake--- Dakota County

(Posted by Andrew D. Smith drew...@aol.com via moumn.org) Observed an adult female Black Scoter at Black Dog Lake at approximately 3:30 PM. She was with a large flock of Ring-necked Ducks, which made me think it could possibly be the Lake Harriet bird. Don't know if that bird has been seen

Short stop by Memorial park in Shakopee this afternoon found this goose near the water flowage to the MN River. Struggling with an ID. The photos are poor from an iPhone. There was a domestic duck wading near by, perhaps it is a domesticated bird?

Earlier today I posted about a Long-eared Owl and it appears that may have been a mis-ID'd bird. Unlike the Long-eared Owl I saw at Springbrook Nature Center this past spring, I did not get a photo of this bird. So I apologize to those who went looking for it and only found a Great Horned Owl.
