[mou-net] Carver County- Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

2008-12-25 Thread John Cyrus
After nearly a 2 week absence, the juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker returned 
to my parents suet feeder in Chaska.   A total of 5 woodpecker species fed in 
their yard today, including a pair of Pileated that they have seen daily for 
the past week(female more often than male).  Also in their yard beside the 
regulars, a Pine Siskin and a Pigeon(unsual for their yard).   This is the 
first time a Pigeon has fed in their yard in over 10 years.   They saw it 
yesterday, and today it returned several times.

[mou-net] Townsend's Solitaire (Duluth)

2008-12-25 Thread Brad Snelling
Found at about 1:00 p.m. near the Hartley Nature Center. It perched from 
several trees near the visitors' center before flying in the direction of the 
reservoir. There was also a small flock of White-winged crossbills which could 
be seen/heard near the parking area by the center.

[mou-net] White-winged crossbills (Duluth)

2008-12-25 Thread Brad Snelling
There has been a flock of about 40 white-winged crossbills visiting spruce 
trees just to the east of Woodland Ave. (around E. Kent, E. College and Clover) 
this morning.

[mou-net] Pine Siskins in Edina

2008-12-25 Thread sue
I have had a flock of maybe twelve Pine Siskins frequenting my thistle feeders 
and bird bath since early December.  At first I took them to be goldfinches or 
house finches as they move around so quickly.  On the 9th I sat and watched 
them with field guide and binocs in hand, having moved a feeder to within two 
feet of the dining room window.  It was then that I could finally determine 
what they are - and today they are very active in the sunshine, along with  
hairy, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers and of course house and goldfinches, 
juncos and chickadees.Cardinals heard but not seen.  A lovely Christmas morning!
