[mou] Since migration has slowed in Central MN....
Since migration has slowed a bit the last couple of days here in central MN, allow me to recommend the Princeton sewage ponds (also known as CR 2 ponds). There's been a decent mix of waterfowl there (up to 15 species) - sprinkled among the numerous Ring-neckeds are Canvasbacks (60+), Redheads (a few) and all three mergansers (not every day). Between 400 500 birds were present today at 12:45. Checked the Isanti CR 5 Great Blue Heron rookery over lunch (about a mile east of Sherburne CR2, which is functionally the same road) - last week it had 30+ herons nesting, noted none visible today (which is, admittedly, not a great day to be at the top of trees). Good (but chilly) birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs Sherburne Counties (Awaiting the next wave)

[mou] 'spring' in Cook Co.
On the 9 or so inches of snow this morning were more juncos than we have seen since fall. In the past week they had been coming in two's or three's, 6 on rainy Saturday, but today it was closer to 60. I wonder where these birds were yesterday? Didn't think the winds were such to bring any migrants north overnight. Also seen: first Fox Sparrow of spring 2 Common redpolls 20+ Pine siskins 4 Am. Goldfinch 6 Purple finch (had 12 yesterday morning, before snow; first one seen 4/2) 2 Am. Tree Sparrow 1 male Cardinal. Female who has been here since November has been here less often lately. Male showed up last week. 2 Eur. Starling (had 18 of these one day last week) 1 Shrike, probably northern, although it zipped off before I got it in binocs. Some of the juncos obviously inexperienced with shrikes, although these are almost all adult male juncos. 3 of them stayed in a little crabapple tree after all other birds beat it into heavy cover, shrike perched only 20 ft. away. The shrike made a desultory swoop in their direction, but missed them all as they finally flew away. Later in the day, I looked out just as all the birds took off, and saw a bird carrying a junco out of my backyard and behind the garage. Could be the same shrike, but hard to tell. This is the first shrike seen here since last fall. 3 Gray jay, regulars almost daily for handouts 1 Com. grackle 3 Redwinged blackbirds seen Sunday. The all-winter tough guys - black-cap. chickadees, lower numbers in the past week since last month's snow melted, extras off to the north. Red-breasted nuthatches traveling in pairs, ditto for Downy Woodpeckers, Hairy Woodpeckers. No other woodpeckers in yard lately, but saw one Black-backed Woodpecker along Gitchi-gami bike trail in Tofte recently. White-breasted nuthatches feed here in winter, nest elsewhere, so they have gone now. Carol Tveekrem, Schroeder

[mou] RFI: Dry Tortugas
Hello - While I'm in Florida, I'd like to fit in a trip to the Dry Tortugas. = Looks like there are a few options - the first is to go on a 3-day birding trip. You cover more ground, but it's definitely pricy. A second option is to do a day trip on one of the ferry services. But those look like a package deal - breakfast on the boat, lunch at Fort Jefferson, a guided tour...we would just want to go and explore on our own, looking at birds, maybe doing some snorkeling. I'm hoping to find some cheaper, less inclusive boat rides, it seems they must exist. So for anyone who's been to the Dry Tortugas, what would you recommend? What did you do, and would you go that route again? Anything else I haven't thought of? Thanks, Cyndi Elias cyndiel...@juno.com
