Bus transportation provided to and from communities across Minnesota, including Duluth. Additional communities will be announced.

[mou] Northern Goshawk
Birding time has been at a premium the last 7-10 days, so very much appreciated a lunch time drive near Sherburne Refuge that produced a Northern Goshawk (Ann Lake/Sand Dunes access road, about 2/3 of a mile east of CR 5) and a Great Blue Heron (marsh at corner of CR 1 87). Good birding to all - looking for an excellent Saturday birding spot - hmm, Aitkin or St. Louis Counties for northern misses... or chase that unreal Gyr on 180th again...or the ducks near Prescott...or...?

[mou] Golden Eagle in Hennepin County?
--=_NextPart_216661183262305343484 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Anyone else spot a solo eagle laboriously winging NW over Eden Prairie about 3:30 this afternoon?

The young eagle, flapping constantly, just didn't look -- feel -- like an immature Bald; and when it turned slightly into the sun, I could see its nape and head was a solid light tawny color. There were clean white patches underneath, but I thought they were too close to the body for it to be a Golden Eagle. That said, it sure looked like one in every other way.
