Subject: [mou-net] Vesper Sparrows, Dakota C.

A brief visit to the 140th St marsh (RIP) turned up some very melodic Vesper 
Sparrows, foraging along the roadside bushes, and the roadside itself, on the 
east end.  Their presence gave pause -and hope - for the thought that this and 
other species may find the hilly grasses of the landfill worth considering, at 
least for a stopover. It seemed to appeal to the American Tree Sparrows (and 
one White-crowned) this past winter.

This morning I watched an ovenbird "walking" in the leaves in my yard.  It

What do you think?
Also had one junco.  Recently brown creeper and red-breasted nuthatch.

Subject: [mou-net] Bell's Vireo continuing, 140th St marsh, Dakota C.

For those interested, this week's drive-by showed that the Bell's Vireos remain 
in the fence-line shrubbery below the landfill, east of the wet areas. As of 
late morning yesterday, there was much vigorous vocalizing, and even some 
cooperative viewing.
Over background noise from the landfill, there seemed to be a Dicksissel voice, 
but it didn't call more than once, and none were seen at the time.
However, the species has favored the site in the past, so another check may 
reveal its presence.
The Brown Thrasher, further west in the fence-line, was more quiet than usual 
and a bit secretive, unlike the Flycatcher that perched up occasionally. 
Perhaps nesting is in progress, as the Thrashers showed up earlier last month. 
There was no sight or sound of the male Pheasant that had been along the road 
and fence line since April. Song Sparrows are numerous as usual, and 
Clay-coloreds in evidence, but there are hopes of finding more of the 
grass-loving sparrows on the hillside above the fence line, as the landfill is 
now growing more cover foliage there. A trip in earlier hours, especially on a 
Sunday, when landfill business is inactive might make it easier to detect the 
likes of Grasshopper Sparrow.

Re: [mou-net] Lewis's Woodpecker?

[Warren Woessner]

All: I have trouble reading the statute that way. Premises can include land of 
any sort. But I can't find the part of the statute that says that "posting" can 
substitute for an actual demand by the owner to leave a plot of land--as 
opposed to a structure (tho' that would make sense). Of course birders should 
honor the wishes of the land owner.

I disagree with the opinion that trespass cannot be enforced on 
non-agricultural property unless posted. 

According to Minnesota Statute 609.605, Subdivision 1:

(b) A person is guilty of a misdemeanor if the person intentionally:
. . .
(3) trespasses on the premises of another and, without claim of right, refuses 
to depart from the premises on demand of the lawful possessor;

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.605

Posting can eliminate the need to prove intent, but the statute is clear that a 
person can be charged with a misdemeanor for trespassing, regardless of whether 
or not the property is posted.

I drove up to Roosevelt and saw the bird today.  Can you post it on the MOU
for me?  I watched it from 1045 till about 1145 this morning.  I first saw
it in the large ash tree above the Anderson's feeders, and then it flew to
the gray house to the north to feed.  It really likes whatever is in the
little blue house feeder there.  A man in a truck (dressed in orange for
hunting) stopped and asked what all the fuss has been about with all the
traffic lately.  I told him about the woodpecker, and he asked what it
looked like.  When I described it, he said it had also been at his feeder to
the west of Anderson's.  I also noticed the trailer house to the north of
Anderson's now has its feeders full (they were empty last Thursday).

 The northwest end entrance and path to lake is from the pull-off  gate

 Lakeside Cemetery, farther east, has restricted access, due to new owners
 who have posted signs for a previous viewing site on the cemetery's east

Re: [mou-net] Dowitcher ID Help (Hennepin County)

Timing is important. Short billeds migrate earlier than Long-billeds and 
non-breeding (eg molting adults) tend to migrate well before juveniles. I can't 
get to your photos right now (traveling) but would guess molting adult 
Short-billed from timing alone.
(I am in New England, where there is a strong migration of Short-bills right 
now.)

Subject: [mou-net] Dowitcher ID Help (Hennepin County)

I went to Purgatory Creek today and there were quite a few shorebirds
present and visible from the blind.

Least Sandpiper - 50+
Killdeer - 15+
Lesser Yellowlegs - 2
Solitary Sandpiper - 2

And one Dowitcher.  I suspect it is a Short-billed Dowitcher as it seemed
to have more golden looking than white looking bars on the back, it had a
unmarked orange breast, and one was reported yesterday on eBird.

I uploaded some pictures on Flickr.   Any input on whether it is a
Short-billed Dowitcher or if it is possibly a Long-billed Dowitcher would
be welcome.

Re: [mou-net] 26 warbler species at Park Point, Duluth, 5/30/2013

Subject: [mou-net] 26 warbler species at Park Point, Duluth, 5/30/2013

Overnight rain showers and fog throughout the day, with temperatures in the
low 40s and ENE winds 5-10 mph, produced a good variety of warblers and
other passerines at Park Point Recreation Area and adjacent Southworth
Marsh today (30 May). Empids and Cedar Waxwings arrived in good numbers for
the first time this spring at Park Point, and several mixed flocks of
shorebirds were found on the beach. Sparky Stensaas found 6 Whimbrel at the
Beach House that disappeared in the fog minutes later. Jan and Larry
Kraemer discovered an Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler during their early
morning Warbler Walk sponsored by Duluth Audubon. Perhaps the most
unexpected bird of the day was an Evening Grosbeak found by Barb Akre as it
foraged on the ground in a parking lot.

Although the day's total of 441 individual warblers was less than 10% of
the total seen during the incredible fallout on 19 May, all 26 of the
warbler species normally seen each spring at Duluth were found between the
Recreation Area and Southworth Marsh today. Unlike the fallout conditions
for four consecutive days earlier this month (19-22 May), warblers were
mostly foraging at normal heights above the ground, especially those found
in pine and spruce. Many began singing in the early afternoon when the fog
temporarily lifted and it warmed up a degree or two, but this was
short-lived. Warblers were still silently foraging when I finally left the
Recreation Area at 7:20 P.M.

The following totals include birds seen with Jan and Larry Kraemer in the
afternoon at the Recreation Area and my own observations at Southworth
Marsh in the morning. Karl Bardon and others were also birding Park Point,
and may have different totals and/or additional noteworthy sightings.

2 Golden-winged Warbler (male and female)
10 Tennessee Warbler
2 Orange-crowned Warbler (carefully identified at eye level)
10 Nashville Warbler
6 Northern Parula
55 Yellow Warbler
40 Chestnut-sided Warbler
68 Magnolia Warbler (second highest northbound count)
2 Cape May Warbler
1 Black-throated Blue Warbler (male found by Mike Hendrickson)
15 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle)
2 Black-throated Green Warbler
10 Blackburnian Warbler
2 Pine Warbler (female seen near singing male)
8 Palm Warbler (good number for this late in the season)
3 Bay-breasted Warbler
33 Blackpoll Warbler
4 Black-and-white Warbler
84 American Redstart
2 Ovenbird
1 Northern Waterthrush
2 Connecticut Warbler (singing and seen)
2 Mourning Warbler
18 Common Yellowthroat
48 Wilson's Warbler
11 Canada Warbler

 Subject: [mou-net] Red Crossbills - Hennepin Co

 At about 12:30 PM today I saw a flock of at least 7 Red Crossbills at Wirth 
 Park in Hennepin County. The flock was made up of both male and females birds 
 and was on the ground drinking from a small seep that crosses the trail. The 
 spot where I saw them was just northeast of the Eloise Butler Wildflower 
 Garden in an area that has no coniferous trees in the immediate vicinity, 
 although there are certainly plenty in the park. I was alerted to the 
 possibility of this species by another birder who I ran into, but 
 unfortunately did not get his name. He said that he saw two crossbills 
 perched in a deciduous tree at the same spot, but because of his viewing 
 angle was unable to tell if they were Red or White-winged Crossbills. After 
 hearing this, I went off to look through areas of the park with more 
 coniferous trees without success. I then returned by the original spot on my 
 way home and saw the birds on the ground. They flew up into the nearby trees 
 when some walkers passed by, but a few returned to the ground a few minutes 
 later. Given the reports of Red Crossbills from Morrison, Sherburne and 
 Cottonwood counties this month, maybe we're in for a major irruption this 
 year.

[mou-net] Mini-Review The Big Year

[Warren Woessner]

Ignore the Strib pan of The Big Year and go see it, before it's gone. The 
movie is based on the book about the 1998 competition between Sandy Komito 
(Owen Wilson), Al Levantin (Steve Martin) and Greg Wilson (Jack Black) to break 
Komito's 1987 big year record for the ABA area. I met Komito when he was doing 
his 1987 big year, and birded with him on Attu in 1990. Wilson does a good job 
of capturing his intensity, quirkiness and humor.

How you will feel about this movie probably depends a lot on your opinions 
about listing and big years, days, months, etc., but Iris and I loved it! I had 
dragged her to many of the locales that are de rigeur if you are list-building, 
like the Brownsville Dump and Patagonia, that are shown in the movie. Isabella 
Rosellini's spot-on impression of Annie Auklet just nails Debbie Shearwater 
and her pelagic empire. There are plenty of ornithological improbabilities - 
particularly on Attu - but if you want to know what Attu was like in the 90's - 
or would enjoy seeing it again, GO now - The Big Year will probably not be 
in theatres for long.

Within the past couple of days I've also seen common yellowthroats, cape

So this morning I checked where a large flock was feeding. I could see

Perhaps this is what the warblers are eating?

Anyone have any ideas what kind of insect they may be? Presumably they

I was in a bit of a hurry to get the message out this afternoon, so I didn't 
describe the location as well as I should have.   The Great-tailed Grackle 
posed(by posed I mean he stood in the same spot without any movement) in the 
field atop a slight hill for 5-10 minutes about 60 feet from the west side of 
cty. rd. 151 about 1/4 mile north of 182nd St(road  in the Martin's post).  
When I drove up most of the Common Grackles had already begun moving west 
following the tractor as it tilled the field(some of the gulls were circling 
above the tractor but most were resting in the same field just south of the 
grackles).  The Great-tailed finally flew when the last few Common Grackles 
flew towards the tractor. The easiest way to Cty. Rd. 151 is to take Hwy. 
212 to Cty. 51 south.   Cty. 51 turns into 151 south of Cty. 52.   I'm not sure 
if I'll be out in the area tomorrow, since I don't think the chances of me 
finding him are that good. You just have to hope that the flocks stay 
closer to the roads.

Subject: [mou-net] Merlin nest, Dakota County



I have been monitoring a Merlin nest at Acacia Cemetery in Mendota Heights, 
Dakota County.  The nest contains 4 downy chicks about 10-14(?) days old. 
Interestingly, the male is an apparent Richardson's (F.c. richardsonii) and the 
female a Taiga (F.c. columbarius). This is the first record of nesting by this 
species for Dakota County, if approved.

The nest is in a pine located approximately 100 m NE of the upper parking 
lot . As you enter the main gate with the stone pillars veer immediately to the 
right around the office bldg., then take first right, then first left, then 
your 
first right again. This should be BEECH. As soon as you turn there 
is a small black and silver sign with the word LOCUST on the right 
side of the road. The nest tree is on the opposite side (N) of the 
road from this sign. Its branches actually hang over the pavement. 
Go about 75 m beyond the nest tree (east) and park. The nest is 
best viewed from this location. It is about 3 ft. below the top and a 
bit to the right. You can see it with the naked eye. The female 
often perches on the top of one of the spruce trees also about 60-75 m east of 
the nest. She seems to tolerate observers at this distance from the 
nest, but I wouldn't go any closer as she gets a bit agitated and may not bring 
food to the nest if you are too close. I witnessed this behavior on Father's 
Day as there were people near the nest tree on  couple of occasions. Because 
this is the best viewing AND photographing location, there is no need to go 
closer to get photographs. Please use good judgment and if you feel you may be 
causing the birds to become agitated, back away.

Directions to Acacia Cemetery: Take Hi 55 (north or south bound) to Hi 13. Turn 
west on Hi 13 and take your first right at Pilot Knob Rd. Go north about 1/4 
mile to the main gate and proceed using the directions above.

Sunday, May 2nd I found 11 Long-billed Dowitchers and two Greater

spooked and did not return.  It seems fairly common for two or three
Greater White-fronteds to linger awhile at Byllesby.  I thought this
year they all moved quickly on, since no one has reported any since the
initial and brief push.

There were absolutely no sandpipers at the lake.  One Palm Warbler was
the lone warbler.

I went up to Stearns County hoping for some luck in refinding the
Laughing Gull reported by Phil Chu.  I arrived at 7:30 and the several
observers still there had not relocated the bird.  Many of the gulls had
flown from the NW corner of the lake and we were trying to find gulls
from the SE side.  It's likely the gulls just found a roosting place for
the night.  It will be interesting to hear if anyone refinds the bird
tomorrow.

In Carver County yesterday near Rapids Lake I found swans in a flooded

Mute Swan is the same one that was around last summer in that area.  In
the fields to the west of this area I saw a Richardson's Ground

I have definitely noticed an increase of road kill, possums, squirrels,

It depends what you want to see, of course.  But one thing that you

frequently birds are reported at different times throughout the year.
For example, here are the charts for Winona county (I just picked a

Sorry for the delay but I was camping in Wisconsin this w
Hey birders,

Sorry for the delay but I was camping in Wisconsin this week.  I was able to 
successfully find the two Snowy Egrets at Purgatory Creek wetlands on Tuesday 
around noon when my family passed through the Cities.  I also immensely enjoyed 
the pelicans, cormorants, Ospreys, and other waders at that site.  Thanks again 
to all who sent directions.

It turns out I was not the only person starved for directions to this wonderful 
birding locale.  I have had numerous requests for the directions that were 
given to me.  I have pasted the version I used below.  The birds were easily 
found the minute I pulled up behind the Lifetime Fitness and there was great 
viewing of all the other aforementioned birds.  Thanks again Mike! 

Chad Heins
Mankato, MN

P.S. If you want a copy of all the different directions, just drop me an email 
and I can forward you a Word document with them.



The
second is on the east side of the wetlands.  It is the back parking lot
for lifetime fitness.  To get here take 169 north to the Anderson lakes Parkway 
exit and go west
(left).  Follow Anderson lakes to Columbine Rd.
(Columbine road is the first stoplight past Flying Cloud drive, )  Turn
right on Columbine Rd and follow it until you get to where it takes a sharp 
right bend.  The
back parking lot for the fitness center is to the left just as the road bends
right.   The wetlands are on your left as you drive down the last
part of columbine Rd.   The trail around the wetlands borders this
parking lot.   You are parked just feet from viewing the wetlands
from the trail there.  When you leave this parking lot, a left turn will
take you to Prairie center drive.
The
third place is where I park to access what everyone calls the blind.
This is on the west end of the wetlands.   Here I park in the corner
of a church parking lot.  To get here, follow Anderson Lakes again, but this 
time turn right onto Flying cloud Drive.  You will then
turn left onto Prairie Center Drive.  I think it is the second
stoplight.   Follow Prairie Center Drive to Technology Drive.   Turn left on
Technology drive.  The main wetlands parking is the first(only) left after
you turn onto technology drive.  But as I said, I continue past this, past
the shops on the right until you come to a church on the right.  I park in
the corner of the parking lot here and the trail around the wetlands is across
Technology drive.  To get to the blind follow the path between the
wetlands and an office building until you start to get to a more residential
area.  There is a wood chip path leading off to the left that goes out to
the blind.   Although the wetlands are just across the street from
the church lot, It is a pretty good distance to get to the blind from here, but
is much shorter than from the main parking lot.
There
is a paved trail all the way around the wetlands if you are up for a bit of a
walk.

[mou-net] Louisiana Waterthrush - Henn County

[Warren Woessner]

At about noon, I id'd a Louisiana Waterthrush at the Old Cedar Ave bridge, west 
of the Parking Lot just west of the first pond, south of the trail (before the 
first boardwalk). I have never seen more Northern Waterthrushes in one place. 
They were chasing each other and flycatching from dead sticks in the pond. The 
Louisiana was keeping to itself on the other side of the trail, near the third 
channel, close to the trail. Note in Sibley how the flank streaks blur out 
on Louisiana Waterthrush, whereas what rear flank streaks there are on Northern 
stay crisp, giving a Northern a white-flanked look, even at a distance. I have 
never put much stock in the length/width of the eyestripe since I think it can 
vary a lot. The Louisiana did have a big bright one that continued well back of 
the eye..on some of the Northerns the eye streak was thin overall and almost 
seemed to vanish past the eye. Oh well, just some musings...this is only the 
second Louisiana Waterthrush I have ever seen in this area (thouigh, when I 
lived in New York, they were overwhelmingly the majority of the Waterthrushs 
that came through Central Park in the spring.

Re: [mou-net] Eskimo Curlew Program Jan 8 2009

mostly birders and surf fishers). However I also have all the Mass reference

Newburyport (on the Vineyard in the late 1800s). However, the bird is still 
listed as hypothetical in the Birds of Martha's Vineyard 2d ed with a 1972

The Search for the Eskimo Curlew: From New Brunswick Bogs to Argentine Pampas

Bob Russell, Wetland Bird Biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

January 8, 2009

One of the great mysteries in the world of birds is the lack of attention paid 
to a dwindling species, the Eskimo Curlew. At one time it was one of the most 
numerous birds in North America, now it hovers on the brink of extinction. In 
fact, many treat its extinction as inevitable, pointing to the few sightings 
since the 1960s.

But Bob Russell and others think there's room for hope. Some believe the curlew 
still could persist in the vastness of the Argentine pampas and North American 
arctic.

Russell, who has led two Maritimes expeditions in search of the curlew and has 
surveyed habitat in Argentina, will describe the bird's history and decline due 
to market hunting in the 1800s. He'll discuss the curlew's far-flung migration 
route, discuss sightings and searches as well as the bird's former stopover and 
wintering sites. I'll also note the top 10 sites to look for this species, 
should anyone wish to mount their own search, Russell adds.

Bird lovers everywhere are invited to this free Saint Paul Audubon program at 
7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 8 at Fairview Community Center, 1910 West County 
Road B in Roseville, just west of Fairview Avenue. The event is open to the

[mou] [mnbird] code of ethics

[Warren Woessner]

One issue with the White-eyed Vireo (or any other bird) is the definiton
of rare, or rare in your local area  In the guidelines. White-eyed
vireo is listed a Casual by the MOU, which sounds a lot like Rare,
but Bell's vireo and Yellow-breasted Chat are listed as regular. Does
this indicate that it is acceptable to judiciously use tape to attract
the latter two,or a Conn. Warbler,  but not the former? 
The ABA Guidelines suggest that, other methods of attracting birds,
even Phishing are forbidden if the bird is rare. Are the hummingbird
feeders that the Paytons put up in Patagonia AZ or the ones the Nature
Conservancy puts up in Ramsey Canyon in violation of the guidelines
because they regularly attract rarities (eg, White-eared or
Violet-Crowned Hummingbird)?  Some years ago, the Nature Conservancy
greatly reduced the number of feeders they had up (so as to not overly
concentrate the birds?). Then a Beryline Hummingbird showed up anyway,
attracting hundreds of birders.
I have been birding for about 40 years and this debate has been
sporadically raging for at least 30 of them. Commercial tour leaders use
tape continously to time-effectively tic local species, even extremely
common ones (which practice is not forbidden by the guidelines). I have
seen one group converge on another when they are both using tape,
particularly at night.  Some leaders would use mikes to tape a calling
bird and play the tape back to the same bird (!) I don't know how much
hearing its own voice would stress a bird, but you can imagine that it
would be curious about the source, and it usually would come in. I have
heard that in jungle birding this is about the only way to see many
calling birds,(including ones new to science), but have only seen the
technique used by researchers in Costa Rica.
The only places I have seen bans on using tape work are heavily birded
areas where some enforcement is possible, like the ban on tape in Cave
Creek Canyon, Arizona (to protect Trogons). Jim points to one issue that
is seldom discussed, and that is that most birds get taped out in
heavily birded areas, and simply don't respond (or don't come in, even
if they are calling). So a sort of natural order is restored, and the
only good a tape does is to help refresh the birder's memory of the
call, which may be as it should be. 
Just notes from experience

Perhaps the ABA code of ethics periodically could be published here. I
doubt if any one of us knows it by heart. It is helpful. It does offer
guidelines. I find that my rather constant use of a camera while birding
in recent years has made the code's suggested considerations and
restrictions more relevant. Cameras tempt one. 
The code helps maintain perspective.

The White-eyed Vireo was seen very early in the am yesterday, 7/24, by
Susan Plankis, about 7:00 a.m, close to the trail, in an area several
yards south of the clearing.  It was moving about, making short calls,
in an oak tree, which was in a thicket on the west side of the trail.
She had a good look at the bird. 
 
For the rest of us who tried to find the bird after Susan observed it,
the vireo was heard singing (once) and calling (3 or 4 times) on both
sides of the trail for most of the morning, without emerging from the
bushes and trees behind the clearing, except possibly once, in low
light, so it couldn't be clearly identified. The space between song/
calls was very long (up to 45 minutes). 
 
The clearing is 200 yards south of marker  #29 on the horse/dog trail at
Murphy-Hanrehan Park Preserve. The trail is to your left after you go
down the hill from the parking lot. This section of Murphy-Hanrehan  is
off of Sunset Lake Blvd.

Dave Benson in his recent Owls of the North book describes these

to the North, but some winters they may show up as far south as the
northern tier of states...They are not albinos, or even partial albinos;
rather, like many northern creatures, they have a paler cast than their
southern relatives.'

Yesterday morning while birding along the Bluff Trail west of
the Old Cedar Avenue bridge I had a short encounter with an almost-white
Great Horned Owl.
I was on the second long boardwalk (the one with watercress in
the stream) sorting through a robin flock when I thought I saw a large
white bird out of the corner of my eye.  I scanned a bit, didn't locate
this bird, and turned my attention back to the robins.  Within a few
seconds they all took flight, I looked up and saw what I felt was a
Snowy Owl land at tree-top level just up the hill from my location.  I
was wondering what a Snowy Owl was doing in these woods when it turned
its head and faced me, I could see it was actually a Great Horned Owl,
but with black on white plumage, I could only detect the slightest hint
of light brown tones.  The facial disc was pale yellow, rather than
orange, and was framed in black.  The horns were plainly visible and
were black.  Other than these features the bird appeared the same as an
immature Snowy Owl.  After 30 seconds or so a dogwalker came through and
the owl flew off to the east, towards Cedar Avenue.  In flight, the owl
seemed nearly all white, the only visible dark markings were those on
the underwings.

Hi Ben,
 
Snow Buntings are being seen around the area.  I saw seven along with
two or three Lapland Longspurs on January 1st in Washington County on
Neal Avenue between 70th and 80th Streets.  But, these guys are highly
mobile and probably would not be at that site.  You will do best not to
chase down old reports, but to cruise the open spaces.   To find what I
call road birds (Snow Buntings, Lapland Longspurs, and Horned Larks)
when the fields are covered with snow, look along lightly travelled
roads in open areas.  The birds will be feeding in the road or on the
shoulders.  Also look in fields over which manure has recently been
spread.  The Buntings and Longspurs travel in tight flocks that can be
quite large.   Larger flocks can be mixed.  Occasionally Larks will also
be in the flocks.  The Snow Buntings are the light birds that flash
white.   The Longspurs are brown birds without the white about the same
size.  Note their face pattern.  The Larks are larger with solid black
tails.  The Larks will flush from the road perpendicular to the
direction you travel.  They fly alone or loosely associated with a few
others. 
 
I hope that helps.

Subject: [mou] snow buntings in the twin cities

I'm wondering if anyone has seen any snow buntings in
Minneapolis or the western burbs recently.  It's my bird of obsession
for the winter and I have yet to run across any (or much any birds for
that matter!)

[mou] Eagles on the Mississippi

[Warren Woessner]

When I was there on Sat., a birder said he had asked permission at the
office and they let him walk in, so apparently there is no need to
tresspass at this point

I really can't believe I am reading this.  Just wanting to see a bird,
but you have to trespass to do it, and then suggest that others might
not want to do it because it is private property, is insane.  Private
property is illegal to be on!  To bad if you can't see something unless
you break the law.  
 
These are exactly the things that give birders a bad name and get us
kicked out of places because the actions of birders with incredibly bad
judgment.  
 
I will bet that if you had gone up to the yacht dealership and asked,
they probably wouldn't have a problem with it, or if they said no,
then you could put the word out that going out there was not allowed.  
 
Implying that others might want to trespass is also so incredibly
unethical.  This is like giving free licenses for people to break the
law to anyone else who has to see that bird.  
 
The fun of birding is getting that good look at incredible birds.
Having posted land is the same as having trees in your way, so that
makes your brain think of other, legal ways to get that good look.
And if you can't, you can't.  It's like loosing the Black-throated Blue
Warbler that just gets lost in the leaves and never shows again.  Well,
you might get it next time which adds excitement to birding.  
 
Please don't trespass and broadcast it as okay to do!  If you do, then
we all loose places to bird.

Michael, I can't comment about the eagles at Redwing but the
eagles at Prescott, WI were very active and fun to watch.  Of the 14 or
more eagles I saw, about 6 of them were actively feeding by diving down
to the water and picking off the dead fish from the surface and
harassing the waterfowl.  One adult would bring the fish back to feed a
juvenile in a nearby tree.  The whole scene was very fun to watch and I
would recommend this area for eagle lovers.  The only problem is you
can't see them well from the boat launch at the south side of the
marina.  I had to walk onto the small jetty owned by the yacht
dealership.  This jetty is private property so I don't necessarily
suggest using it but I didn't see another area for good viewing.
 
Good Luck,
Jason Caddy

[mou] Red-breasted Nuthatch (RBNU) irruption?

[Warren Woessner]

The RBNU is an irruptive species, with many some years and few or none
in others. It is also irrupting in New England. I put up my feeder in
south Minneapolis today and had a RBNU visiting today along with a Pine
Siskin. I think that this year will be big for winter finches.
I birded briefly at Lake Calhoun Sun at sunset. Most of the gulls were
far out in the center in the beautiful weather. I id'd one as a 1st
winter lesser Black-backed Gull but will wait for the gull experts to
confirm that sighting

All,

Interesting blurb in last week's Star Tribune (Nuthatches gain southern

exposure /by Jim Williams, 11/06/2007/) about a possible Red-breasted 
Nuthatch (RBNU) irruption.An online search at the StarTribune.com 
will reveal the article if you missed it.

Here in South Minneapoils - I have had one RBNU visiting my suet feeder 
on a regular basis since October 17th. 

Though only my my second fall/winter season here in MN - last year I had

*no* RBNU sightings at all.

So - a 100% improvement over last year!  An irruption indeed!

There is a place in the Mille Lacs WMA (1-2 miles north of the CR 20

The Bell's Vireo reported near Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis was present
on Saturday morning from 7:30-8:15 AM. The bird was singing actively
(except when the jets were roaring by directly overhead) and followed
exactly the same pattern described by Paul Budde yesterday (pasted
below). This guy seems to be on  territory and, as far as I could see,
it was another case of unrequited love.

**

Pasted from Paul Budde's message:

Still present today at 11 AM, in the previously described location.
From 54th St and Lake Nokomis Parkway on the west side of Cedar Ave,
there is a side walking path towards the lake (going east).  The
northernmost point at which I heard the vireo was where this side path
meets the main path.  I followed it southward on this path with the lake
to the east and a marshy area to the west all the way to where the path
makes a sharp left turn and there is a small wooden bridge.  At this
point it was singing from some coniferous trees (with a small deciduous
tree growing in the middle of it).  This entire area is the extreme SW
corner of the lake, all of it on the west side of Cedar Ave.

Thanks to Don Wanschura for finding the bird and to Tony Hertzel for
passing along the information.

[mou] Neotropic Cormorant

[Warren Woessner]

I found the n. corm. with the dc corm. flock on Diamond Lake (east side,
seen from near the Park Sign on Portland, find a hole in the greenery)
at about 830 am this (Tues) morining. The flock was in perfect profile,
so the little corm. was easy to pick out.
When this bird appeared (less than a mile from my house as the crow
flies), I was in Boston. Never have so many good birds appeared in
this area while I have been out of town. But at least this one stayed
around.

[mou] Re: Bloopers

[Warren Woessner]

Our house has a large window overlooking Minnehaha Creek. My non-birding
cousin was visiting and admiring the view when we saw a pure whitle
object in a tree a hundred yards or so away. I got my scope but I still
wasn't sure what it could be except for one of the white egrets - I
pronounced it a very good sighting for that part of the creek (but high
up in a tree?). Finally we got in the car to drive closer and the
mystery was revealed - it was an albino squirrel!
