) at North Ottawa Impoundment (Grant Co.). We did not hear or see either of the King Rails or any herons/egrets of interest. The highlights were 4 Red-necked Phalaropes and 9 other shorebird species, a Canvasback, an American Bittern, and a Virginia Rail and Soras. Good birding! Alyssa DeRubeis

[mou-net] Request for info: S-T Flycatcher or King Rails seen recently?

. I'm debating trying for the bird on Thursday. The King Rails were last viewed on July 15 or 16, but I don't have any information since then and I'd like to try for them on Friday. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Alyssa DeRubeis Fayetteville, AR Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu

[mou-net] Blue Grosbeaks continue, be considerate of fledglings (Hennepin Co.)

ay shortly after. I say fledglings because someone reported a fledgling, along with the two adults, on eBird earlier today. This is very exciting that there is a breeding pair in the Metro area and I hope our presence as birders doesn't negatively impact their chick rearing. Good birding! Alyss

[mou-net] B-L Kittiwake absent 3-4pm

I and others looked for the Washington County Black-legged Kittiwake (Hazen Moores Park in Cottage Grove) from 3-4pm with no luck. Folks had seen it just prior to my arrival at 3pm. Maybe folks will get lucky tomorrow morning. Alyssa DeRubeis visiting from Fayetteville, Arkansas Join

[mou-net] Belated reports: Summer Tanager, Surf Scoter

Grebe on Medicine Lake in Plymouth, Hennepin County. They were spotted off of the main beach in French Park (I believe). This is a good large lake to check for waterfowl at this time of year. Good birding! Alyssa DeRubeis Fayetteville, Arkansas Sent from my iPhone Join or Leave mou-net

report it on here. This is not always the case. Plus you can see the photographs if it’s posted on eBird or Facebook, which is partly why some birders favor those outlets. Alyssa DeRubeis watching from afar in Fayetteville, Arkansas Sent from my iPhone Join or Leave mou-net: http

[mou-net] Tufted Duck update (Jan 9)

The Tufted Duck was seen earlier this morning around 8am, at the private residence in Red Wing that Bob Dunlap described yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s still being seen or what, so please post your updates on here. Thanks! Alyssa DeRubeis Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi

[mou-net] Barrow’s Goldeneye (Otter Tail Co.)

I saw this on eBird: Wayne Perala photographed a female Barrow’s Goldeneye at Orwell WMA (near the recreational area) earlier today. It sounds like it’s difficult to pull off on the highway’s shoulder, so be careful if you try for it! Good birding, Alyssa DeRubeis Join or Leave mou-net

[mou-net] Townsend's Solitaire (Ramsey Co.)

with wide base, and long-ish tail that it flicked. Lake Vadnais has hosted solitaires in the past. I would say that any conifer is a good spot to check, although in previous years folks have seen it in the red cedars (junipers). Good birding! Alyssa DeRubeis Fayetteville, AR Join or Leave mou
