[mou] Flight song of Song Sparrow-Wood Lake

As Alyssa noted in her earlier post, We observed from close range (40 = feet) a Song Sparrow lift off from the dry sedge at water's edge, fly up = to about 25 feet high, then drop its legs, spread its wings, fanned open = its tail and with a buzzy hovering flight, that let it fall very slowly, = be

[mou] First Todd Co. Record-GWF Goose

Earlier this spring, I noticed a decent movement of Greater White-fronted Geese in Minnesota and thought this would be the year for them to finally show up in Todd County. Up until now there has been no record. I thought my chance to find some was over this spring because it seemed the peak mig

[mou] Potential Shorebirding - Goodhue Co.

As suspected, the Vermillion River has flooded the fields just east of the Dakota C.R. 68 bridge over to Prairie Island (Goodhue Co.). It should improve for shore- and waterbirds in the days ahead as the water recedes. Today the only shorebirds were yellowlegs and pecs. There were numerous Bonapa

[mou] sharp-shinned hawk in Cook Co.

We saw our first sharpie yesterday afternoon. The dozens of juncos and pine siskins at our feeders scattered, the hawk perched briefly in an aspen, showing a light chest/belly, and we barely got a good enough look at it as it flew through a row of spruces to figure out what it was - small, gray on

[mou] Snowy Eg. Kandi. Co.

On 4/14 I observed 3 snowy egrets, together, in Kandiyohi county. The birds were on the "downside" of the spillway where Shokapee Creek leaves Swan Lake. To get to this location, go north of the town of Pennock 4-5 mi (don't have a map in front of me) and then about 2 miles west on county 27. Als
