[mou-net] Carver County

[John Cyrus]

While it was pretty quiet along the shore of Rapids Lake this morning,  I did 
relocate the Swamp Sparrow from last week.   I also found(relocated?) 3 
Yellow-rumped Warbler.    These are likely some of those that I found last 
week.   They were feeding on winter buds of a Cottonwood.   Also near the lake 
was a Golden-crowned Kinglet.  He was in the same area where there were 2 in 
early January, so it could be a repeat winter resident.   With no snow covering 
the grassland nearby, a male Northern Harrier was hovering just above the 
ground in search of a meal.   He did dive onto the ground once, but he almost 
immediately returned to the air without a meal.
