In Staples and Wadena the earlier reported Pine Grosbeaks remain in fruit trees throughout town.
Three white-winged crossbills were present at my in-laws near Whitetail Run golf course north of Wadena. My mother in law also informed me a male Evening Grosbeak was at her feeder yesterday, but unfortunately I was unable to relocate or observe that species. On a related note, a common redpoll flew into my parents window yesterday. I was able to pick up the bird and allow the four grandchildren (1-5) close observation and discussion of the northern visitors. Luckily fifteen minutes after returning her to the feeder, she flew away to the joy of the kids watching (luckily it turned out positively). -- Malcolm Gold (Stockton, Winona County but currently visiting family in Wadena County) http://mcmdgold.blogspot.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/malcolmgold/ ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
