It was a busy day at the feeders at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitor's Center, in Bloomington. Interesting winter passerines:
-10 Brown-headed Cowbirds (8 males, 2 females) -1 Fox Sparrow -1 male Oregon-race junco The only new bird for me at these feeders this year was the brief appearance from the Fox Sparrow. The cowbirds were present at the feeders almost the entire time I watched (~2 hours), although never all at the same time. The junco is shyer than the others and only made two appearances. Good birding! Alyssa DeRubeis Golden Valley, MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
