[mou-net] Mille Lacs Warblers
19 warblers in Hennepin Kathio State Parks - nice to see multiple waves throughout the morning (7:30 to 12:00). Of course, do you think I could find the 20th (like Yellow, or Orange-crowned, or Canada, or Red-faced...?) Good birding to all!

Re: [mou-net] [mnbird] Pelicans in Shoreview
I just saw a huge flock of white Pelicans circling this morning in Jordan, Mn. Near Sand Creek-169 and 282. They look so cool when the sun hits them. vansiclenr wrote: A flock of pelicans was circling Island Lake in Shoreview Friday 11Sept 11:00 AM.

[mou-net] Strib article about Bob Holtz
There is a very nice article about Bob Holtz in today's Star Tribune. I also had the privilege of serving with Bob at the MOU State Fair booth on opening day. http://www.startribune.com/local/north/57614542.html?elr=KArksUUUoDEy3LGDiO7aiU Sid Stivland Plymouth, MN Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
[mou-net] FW: Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Miesville Ravine, Goodhue Cty side
_ From: Laura Coble [mailto:shearwate...@frontiernet.net] Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2009 4:10 PM To: 'mnb...@lists.mnbird.net' Subject: Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Miesville Ravine, Goodhue Cty side Today at Miesville Ravine, along the Cannon River trail, I had excellent views of a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. I had heard several Yellow-billed and Black-billed Cuckoos during the spring season in this side of the ravine, but this is the first cuckoo I've seen this year. It did not vocalize, but its tail had large white spots on black, and I saw rufous primaries and a mostly yellow bill. I couldn't see the orbital eyering color.

[mou-net] Grand Marias-Female Harlequin
I saw the female Harlequin Duck today in Grand Marais. She was first seen in the west bay, near the Lake Superior Trading Post. She then flew to the east bay and was foraging along the shore with a group of Common Mergansers. There have also been two Red-necked Grebes in the west bay. I saw them yesterday and today.

[mou-net] Hooded Warbler, Dakota Co.
Today around 12:00 I found a male Hooded Warbler at Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Dakota County. It was singing incessantly for the 10-15 minutes I was near it. I know others had seen one there this spring (and last year as well) so I'm assuming this is probably the same guy on territory.

[mou-net] Red-necked Phalaropes/Grant Co.
Here are a few notable weekend birds from Grant/Douglas/Otter Tail counties: 4 Red-necked Phalaropes were seen at Ashby Sewage Ponds (scope required); the ponds are closed, but you can gaze longingly over the padlocked gates. A short distance away where the stream leaves Pelican Lake, we spotted a bird nonchalantly standing knee-deep in the flowing water. An Egret, Heron? Nope, an adult Cooper's Hawk calmly preening, using the stream as a bird bath. Five miles away at Lake Christina in Douglas county the American Coots are gathering. We roughly (and probably, conservatively) estimated 20.000 coots on the lake. Among the coots were a pair of Western Grebes still carrying three young ones on their backs. At the sand and gravel pits on the west side of Lake Christina about a dozen Turkey Vultures calmly loafed and returned our stares, allowing us to reflect upon our mortality.
