Be aware that the section of the Spring Lake Regional Park (Fahey Ave
entrance) where Jim Mattsson found the two White-winged Scoters yesterday
(Friday the 17th) is closed today, Sunday and Monday for a Deer hunt.  The
Scharr's Bluff section is open but there was hardly anything there.  I also
checked out the public access landing and only found one loon and no ducks
or scoters.
 
PS - The Varied Thrush is still hanging around at my home and spending most
of the time in the crab apple tree out in front of the house.

[mou] Summer Tanager in Olmsted County

There is a Summer Tanager regularly coming to a feeder south-southwest of
Rochester.  The home with the feeder is located in a sub-development west of
the Willow Creek Golf Course that is located on 48th Street SW (which is
south of the Hwy 52 and Hwy 63 interchange).  I have communicated with the
home owner and received permission to pass on the information,
 
To get there go south on Hwy 63 to the 48th Street off-ramp.  Go west on
48th past 11th Ave and past the golf course on your left.  When you see a
sign for the road narrowing, turn left on Scenic View Drive (it is not too
far past the golf course).  Continue a short distance down that road and
then turn left onto Teak Wood Lane (a dead end street).  When you get to the
highest point of this road there will be a vacant lot on the left.  Park
near the group of mailboxes just before the vacant lot (note that there is
no parking on the north/west side of the street).  The bird can be seen
coming to the feeders on the post behind the house just after the vacant
lot.  You can look across the vacant lot to view the feeders from inside
your car.  It has been seen in the square open-top hanging feeder and also
has been feeding from the wire mesh nut feeder hanging to the right.
 
Please be respectful of the home owner and the neighbors in the area.
 
If you have any questions you can contact me.

[mou] late YB Sapsucker- Duluth, St Louis Cty

2006-11-18 Thread Don Kienholz
There was a juvenile Yellow- Bellied Sapsucker this moring in the River 
Birches across the street from the DeWitt Seitz Bldg., Canal Park. It was in 
the small trees above the now empty fountain on the corner.
Birds of Minnesota - Janssen, states Nov 10th as a late record North.
Did not check out the many gulls on the breakwall as was working with no 
binoculars.

[mou] Pine and Evening Grosbeaks - Mille Lacs County

I was fortunate enough to come across a mixed flock of Pine and Evening
Grosbeaks in Mille Lacs County today.  There were at least a dozen Pine
Grosbeaks and at least 5 Evening Grosbeaks in the flock.
 
The location is along the south shore of Mille Lacs Lake.  Take CR142
north off of Hwy 27 (about 1.5 or 2.0 miles west of Wahkon).  When CR142
comes to a T, take a right.  I don't know the exact distance from
there (about a mile I would guess).  Look for the blue house number sign
40664.  This is where I first saw the birds.  They then moved a couple
of houses further down and were feeding on a large crab apple tree in
the yard.
 
I also found (heard) Red Crossbills and Common Redpolls in Kathio State
Park today.

[mou] gull census at Superior Entry and Superior landill

2006-11-18 Thread Peder Svingen
More than 3,000 gulls were counted in the Duluth-Superior area today; 
the vast majority were at the landfill and on Alouez Bay in Wisconsin. 
All birds at the landfill were observed from the public road outside of 
the fenced-in area.
Ring-billed Gull -- 8 (plus 50 more at Canal Park, Duluth);
Herring Gull -- 2,850 (plus 400 more at Canal Park, Duluth);
Thayer's Gull -- 2 adults, one third-cycle, and two first-cycle (plus 
one more adult at Canal Park, Duluth);
Iceland Gull -- adult Kumlien's on the Minnesota side of the Superior 
Entry at 0930;
Slaty-backed Gull -- adult at Superior landfill 1053 to 1057 and from 
1310 to 1333;
Glaucous Gull -- 2 adults at Superior Entry, one second-cycle and one 
first-cycle at landfill (plus one adult at Canal Park, Duluth);
Great Black-backed Gull -- first-cycle on Alouez Bay at 1145 and 
subsequently refound at landfill.

Hi-

All summer I have been watching a pair of sandhill cranes raise a single =
youngster at Lake Rebecca PR near Delano, MN.  I haven't seen them for a =
couple of weeks and assumed that they have left for parts south.  I was =
surprised to see them again today in the usual spot- when do cranes =
usually leave?? =20

On a different note, I went down to see the swans and eagles south of =
Brownsville yesterday- TOTALLY amazing!!!  I have never seen anything =
like it - the eagles talon touching,  playing and all the swans and =
other waterfowl was sooo cool.  I stopped and scanned the river =
frequently on the way down and was happy to see see 6 horned grebes =
close by catching little silver fish around Lake City.
