I understand that we’re supposed to notify the DNR when we find dead birds like this. Did anyone else hear that? Charlie Greenman Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 24, 2022, at 3:21 PM, Marie Culhane > <2cafa55a7c48-dmarc-requ...@lists.umn.edu> wrote: > > From an earlier post: > > To report

The nesting box atop the XCel power plant had a Peregrine sitting on the outer half-wall, facing inward, about a week ago. It flew off and reappeared 20 minutes later. I haven’t seen either falcon in a couple of visits since but I haven’t tarried at the site, either. While driving both

2022-04-24 Thread Gregory Munson
I just walked around our local City Park, home to about a 150 resident geese, and found four dead, and one almost dead, none of apparent cause. Usually I only see an occasional dead one during hunting season, so assuming this is the Avian Flu. Anyone know if DNR or others are testing these
