[mou-net] South Washington County Sightings
Yesterday I birded Carpenter Nature Center with Abrahm Simons from about 10 am-12:30 pm. Raptors included 33 BALD EAGLES, 36 RED-TAILED HAWKS, 1 COOPER'S HAWK, and 1 PEREGRINE FALCON. There were thousands of waterfowl flyovers, most of which were either too high up or too far out to ID. However, we were able to ID 5 different flocks of GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE, totaling around 400 individuals. Mixed in were 2 SNOW GEESE, 1 white phase and 1 blue phase. These flocks were all heading west/northwest. Other highlights included a couple of EASTERN BLUEBIRDS, KILLDEER and a singing PURPLE FINCH. I went to Afton State Park afterward and added 3 TURKEY VULTURES, 1 NORTHERN HARRIER, 10 more Red-tails, 3 more Bald Eagles, and several Eastern Bluebirds. I looked/listened for, but did not find, Eastern Meadowlark. Last night at home in Cottage Grove I had 1 calling NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL (10th consecutive day) and 1 AMERICAN WOODCOCK displaying. This morning I found several FOX SPARROWS and one SONG SPARROW. Good birding.

[mou-net] Snow Buntings, Washington County
There is a reliable flock of 10+ Snow Buntings hanging out in southern Woodbury. I have seen them along Dale Rd. between Hwy 19 and Manning Ave and Cottage Grove Drive south of Dale--always around midday or slightly after. This month I have seen them 2/5, 2/6, and 2/10--every day I have driven that stretch. In January I saw larger flocks on Neal Ave S. (between 70th and 80th) and 100th St. (between Manning and Kimbro).

Yesterday I checked out Neal Ave. again with Abrahm Simons and we got great looks at some of the LAPLAND LONGSPURS that are just south of 70th St. I'd estimate there were at least 100 individuals in the flock. Farther south on Neal we found an EASTERN MEADOWLARK, American Kestrel, and Trumpeter Swans. On 100th St. we found a flock of at least 200 Common Redpolls, followed by another flock of at least 100 on 77th St. Abrahm told me that before I joined him, he was able to briefly relocate the SNOW BUNTINGS that I reported there the previous day.

Re: [mou-net] Ramsey Cty: Clark's Nutcracker
A group of us birders saw 3 EVENING GROSBEAKS at about 10:45 AM, and also heard some RED CROSSBILLS. I don't know if any other birders relocated the Evening Grosbeaks later; they were in the deciduous trees on the NW corner of Cty I and Hodgson, and didn't stick around very long. The Clark's was on the east side of Hodgson at the time, so only a few birders got good looks at the Grosbeaks.

I was able to spend a large chunk of the day today birding my yard in Cottage Grove, with some help from Larry Sirvio. We had 12 warbler species and a number of other migrants. Based on this, I think the East Metro wooded hotspots have a lot of potential tomorrow--e.g. Lake Elmo, Afton State Park, Carpenter Nature Center, Cottage Grove Ravine Park, Gray Cloud Dunes, etc. Perhaps the west metro will see some action too--Cedar Ave, Minnehaha Creek, etc. Today's migrants included the following: Common Nighthawk 3 Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1 Philadelphia Vireo 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch 1 Veery 1 Swainson's Thrush 3 Northern Waterthrush 1 Golden-winged Warbler 2 Black-and-white Warbler 2 Tennessee Warbler 1 Nashville Warbler 1 American Redstart 3 Magnolia Warbler 1 Bay-breasted Warbler 1 Blackburnian Warbler 2 Chestnut-sided Warbler 1 Black-throated Green Warbler 2 Canada Warbler 1 Scarlet Tanager 1 There were also a number of migrating Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Red-eyed Vireos, and Robins.
