My theory is that the next big push of a Cold front weather system from the NW will push an awful lot of birds in front of it - it would be a great day to be on Stony Point on the North Shore! Looking at the clear radar nationwide, who knows when that will be!

This last weekend I managed only 7 species at Rice Creek Park in Anoka Cnty and it was like pulling (hen's) teeth. And I don't see anyone else, at least not in the central or south parts of the state, reporting any big numbers of species (or even big numbers) Warren Woessner -----Original Message----- From: mnbird-ad...@lists.mnbird.net [mailto:mnbird-ad...@lists.mnbird.net] On Behalf Of Nancy Overcott Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 12:05 PM To: Mnbird post Subject: [mnbird] From Fillmore County I'm feeling discouraged and worried about the low numbers of migrants in my area. In spite of looking diligently, I'm only seeing a few warblers and then only one or two at a time. Other migrants are few and far between also. If things don't pick up, this will be the worst fall migration I've witnessed in my area since I began watching birds 20 years ago. The migrating birds I have seen yesterday and today include: Turkey Vulture Ruby-throated Hummingbird Eastern Wood-Pewee Eastern Phoebe Northern Flicker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (immature) Blue-headed Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Red-breasted Nuthatch (hadn't seen one for over a year) House wren Blue-winged Warbler Black and White Warbler Magnolia Warbler Northern Waterthrush Common Yellowthroat Purple Finch (yesterday at my feeders) Nancy Overcott, from the Big Woods=20 Fillmore County, SE MN _______________________________________________ mnbird mailing list mnb...@lists.mnbird.net http://www.mnbird.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mnbird _______________________________________________ mnbird mailing list mnb...@lists.mnbird.net http://www.mnbird.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mnbird
