We will be looking for early migrants and Cuckoos which nest in the area. This hike is free and open to all. No need to contact me to let me know you will be joining us. Just show up. Make sure you bring insect repellent, although if you wish to volunteer as mosquito bait, you will be welcome. Bring a lunch if you wish to join us for an after lunch destination, as yet undetermined. Directions: From Highway 52, take Highway 50 towards Redwing. This road is absorbed by Highway 61 and becomes a four lane highway, which comes down a major hill to cross the Canon River. After you pass the turn-off for the casino, make a left at the next intersection (CR 46) near the BOTTOM of the hill. Take the fork to the right (Collischan Road).

Re: [mou-net] [Mnbird] Interesting vulture activity--Plymouth MN
This A growing world wide phenomenon. Apparently a learned behavior since it is so localized. The worst vultures are at Everglades Park where Black Vultures destroy both wipers and window seals. Damage can be $1,000's. Also reported attacking wipers are crows in England, Australia and NZ. Keas in NZ are notorious for attacking car wipers and seals.

[mou-net] AZ to Aitkin
We find ourselves on a sudden trip to Aitkin, MN. (We're attending the funeral my wife's 97 year old Aunt.) We hope to bird in the area Sunday am. We've been there many times, but not birding in the Winter. I've seen recent reports, but any tips would be appreciated. Will trade for expert birding assistance in Tucson where I hope my winter resident Broad-billed, Costa's and Anna's hummers aren't too stressed when my feeders go empty.

[mou-net] Escape to Texas
the Blue Bunting female, but missed the Grosbeak. Then drove to see the Ferruginous Pygmy Owl at San Miguelito Ranch with Leticia Tijerina bun...@aol.com and two photo fanatics. You need real 4 wheel drive to get in here. The bird did not cooperate at first. We waited and waited for hours until we heard it hooting off in the woods. It turned out the little bugger was sitting behind us in a hole at the base of a crotch in a tree that was shaped like a perfect speaker. He rewarded out patience by hopping out on a branch and doing perfect poses for an hour. Also saw a Sedge Wren here. Stayed at nearby La Quinta Suites and ate at Leticia’s brother’s restaurant. Fri. January 16 Finally success with the Frontera Crimson-collared Grosbeak. It was showing itself in the drizzle and we ran in to see it at 10 a.m. The area was full of Clay-colored Thrushes and Warblers. We then drove to Quinta Mazatlan a lovely spot with great feeders but no hoped for Tropical Paraulas. Finally we drove to Chapeno for our last chance at Red-billed Pigeon. Lovely spot with lovely Ringed Kingfisher. We were planning to wait for the Red-billed Pigeon flight, but the Coyotes landed a boatload of illegals at our feet and we ran the blazes out of there. We stayed at the Zapata Holiday Inn Express with mobs of fishermen there for a fishing contest. Avoid this place on weekends. Sat. Jan. 17 We tried San Ignacio but the bird area was flooded. Finally we drove to San Antonio for an excellent celebration dinner at Landry’s. Jan 18 Easy flight home from San Antonio except for racing between gates in Dallas.

[mou] Little Blue Heron
Monday 6/12 at about 7 p.m. there was an adult Little Blue Heron along I-94 S in the pond in the exit right before 494 splits off. Yes, I was going 65 mph, but the light was perfect, the bird is distinctive, I've seen hundreds of them in other states, and it was a very clear view. Large, all dark heron, no white, grey bill, reddish purple head, neck and chest, dark blue back and belly. I was hoping to get back for a better view, but I've been stuck with doing my Mom's %^*((^% taxes.
