[mou] Summer 2008 Season

2008-08-02 Thread Paul Budde
The summer season (6/1 - 7/31) has ended.  If you will be submitting a seasonal 
report for inclusion in the summer summary to be published in The Loon, please 
do so now.  We strongly encourage submissions using the MOU website 
(http://moumn.org/ ). Look under "Reporting Birds," then "On-line Seasonal 
Reporting."

Birds reported on mou-net are NOT automatically considered when the seasonal 
reports are compiled, so please also take the extra step of submitting your 
observations via the website.

If you don't know how to use the website, send me an e-mail and I'll help you 
navigate it.  If, for some reason, you cannot use the website, send any paper 
submissions of seasonal report data to me at the address below.

Any documentation of Casual or Accidental species should also be done on line, 
at this same website.  Paper documentation to be considered by the state 
records committee should be mailed directly to the MOURC Chair, Peder Svingen.

Thanks for your observations and the details you provide!
Paul

[mou] Saturday morning banding

2008-08-02 Thread R.D. Everhart

I took a few hours this morning to try and catch Sedge Wrens at
Carver Park near Victoria, MN for a study I'm doing. I had some
success and have posted pictures of birds in the hand on my blog for
those who might be interested.
