[mou-net] Lake Co & Sax-Zim update
In Lake Co earlier this week, a N Hawk Owl was seen along CR 2, near the jct with Forest Road 122, or 1 mi N of the Kane Lake Rd; this is ~21 mi N of Two Harbors. (However, there were no Great Gray or N Hawk owls to be found in the Stony River Forest Rd / Whyte Rd area, which had been present 2 weeks ago.) There was a pair of Boreal Chickadees at the jct of the Stony River & Whyte roads, and another pair on CR 2, ~1.5 mi N of the Sand R. Especially surprising was an adult Wild Turkey with several chicks along CR 2, ~15 mi N of Two Harbors; I assume this to be a recent release from a local game farm. In the Sax-Zim Bog, there were 2 pairs of Black-backed Woodpeckers along McDavitt Rd, ~2.5 mi N of Sax Rd. A Connecticut Warbler was also heard here, and another cooperative individual was seen along Owl Ave, ~1/4 mi S of Overton Rd. (There had been reports earlier that birders were having difficulty finding this species in Sax-Zim.) And a Black- billed Magpie pair was along Sax Rd, 1.5 mi W of CR 7.

[mou-net] USGS needs good bird photos
Not very specific about types of bird species, but may be a good outlet for some of the many good MN bird photographers out there. Jim Mattsson -- Forwarded message -- From: Shannon Beliew Date: Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 11:31 AM Subject: Bird Photos needed To: Good Afternoon everyone, I am in need of good quality bird photos. I am working on a little project for the BBS that is in need of some better photos than the ones on our website. If you have any and are ok with sharing (your name will be put on the photo) please write what type of bird it is along with your name.

[mou-net] Henslow's Sparrow, Polk County
Late this morning I found a singing Henslow's Sparrow at the northwest corner of the intersection of CR 44 and 350th St. southeast of Crookston in Polk County. This bird is at (or possibly beyond) the extreme northwest limit of the species' range.
