I'm an early bird and I'm a night owl, so I'm wise and I have worms.

Subject: Fwd: Keweenaw Raptor Survey- Update

 

Greetings all,

The Keweenaw Raptor Survey has completed it's first two weeks of counts from
Brockway Mountain near Copper Harbor. Already significant amounts of raptors
have been documented by the survey including a total of nearly 600 Bald
Eagles, as well as other species like Merlin, Golden Eagle, Northern
Goshawk, Red-shouldered Hawk and Rough-legged Hawk. This years survey will
continue to run until June 15th and peak movements should occur during the
last two weeks of April and first two weeks of May. Support for both the
birding community as well as the citizens of the Keweenaw have been
outstanding- I would like to thank everyone for their cooperation for this
project. You can follow along with the seasons progress and see photos by
reading the the blog maintained by our staff counter Max Henschell at
Keweenawraptorsurvey.org. 

In part to the generous support of the Laughing Whitefish Audubon, Copper
Country Audubon and Michigan Audubon as well as donations from individuals
from over the Midwest, we were able to provide funding for the 2010 spring
count season. However this is a three-year research project and we are not
done procuring funding for the next two seasons. If you have been
considering donating to the Keweenaw Raptor Survey but have not yet done so,
we have recently set-up a secure online donation link on our website, or you
can download a contribution form here:

Thank you all for your time and support of this fascinating project. Hope to
see you on the Mountain this spring!

~Skye Haas

[mou-net] Boston and Orlando birding?

2010-04-05 Thread Thomas Maiello 
In the third week of April, I am going to be in Boston for a day and Orlando 
the next day and was wondering if anyone knows the birding networks there.  I 
am looking for someone to hook up with and do some quick birding.

2010-04-05 Thread Jason Caddy 
Sorry about the late post but I noticed some of the sightings weren't posted 
yet by others.

 

Here are some of the highlights that I saw while biking yesterday in the Metro 
area:

 

Lake Calhoun:

Red-breasted Merganser pair

Bufflehead

3 Breeding plumage Horned Grebes

 

Lake Harreit:

Common Loon

 

Diamond Lake:

tons of Pied-billed Grebes

6 Swan Sp.- Too many to be Trumpeter? (Tundra?)

many Wood Ducks

 

Veterans Memorial Park in Richfield:

Northern Shoveler

Many Lesser Scaup

Blue-winged Teal

 

Old Cedar Ave. Bridge area:

Singing male Rusty Blackbird on the west edge of parking lot. This was the 
first time I have heard this species call and it caught my ear. It is fairly 
distinctive.

Common Merganser

Hooded Merganser

Trumpeter Swan pair

 

I love Spring Migration!
