On the St. Paul CBC on Saturday, my team (Lee Pfannmueller, Gary Seim, Dave
Zumeta, Bob Titzler, and I) counted 808 American Robins in SW St. Paul and
SE Minneapolis. Of those, 650 were feeding on hackberries in the Summit
Avenue median between Cretin and Cleveland Avenues, a distance of a
quarter-mile (accompanied by a Cooper's Hawk and two Merlins). I have
complete reports from only a couple of the 14 other teams and eight feeder
watchers, so it will be a while before I have a complete report. I do know
that 25 Trumpeter Swans were on Sucker Lake, and at least one Am. White
Pelican (I don't have the number) was at the Pig's Eye treatment plant
outflow.

Subject: [mou-net] American Robins
From the FOREST along the Straight River in Faribault:
I have seen an an occasional American Robin the past 10 days. On Saturday,
December 21, 2008, for our Faribault CBC, I saw 20 American Robins fly
over. Today about 1:00 p.m. I counted 43 Americans Robins fly over our
bird feeder area. I wonder what they are eating in the tangle along the
river area.
