[mou-net] Black Dog New Year's day
I plan to view gulls, etc. at the power plant causeway tomorrow, Jan 1. I will be at the main gate on Black Dog Road at 4:00 p.m. I have a gate key and this is the ONLY way to access the causeway viewing area. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join me. Park directly across the road from the main gate. We will walk in from the parking lot as a group. The walk is about 150 m or so. Should be out by around 5:00pm. I guarantee you will see birds.

[mou-net] Brown Thrasher- Maplewood
I had to take a double take, but there was a Brown Thrasher at my feeder this morning eating black oil sunflower seeds. The bird was scratching the seed with its feet while inside the feeder and then seemed to be caching the seeds at the base of a nearby pine tree amongst the needles on the ground. I managed to binoscope it with my cell phone camera (of course we don't have our camera at home today, doh.). What a great bird to end the year!

[mou-net] Stoney River Forest Rd Lake Co
On Wed I birded the Stoney River Forest Road in Lake County. It is not plowed ...except for the northernmost 1.5 miles. The rest is a rough two- track rut through rather deep snow. The Subaru Forester made it just fine. Whyte Road is just a snowmobile trail now. Tomorrow's snowstorm should shut down the road...Possibly for the winter as the only logging I saw was at the very northern end. 1 N Goshawk 50-plus C Redpoll Pine Grosbeaks 17 Boreal Chickadees 7 Gray Jays Tracks of Lynx, Moose, Wolf, Fox, Snowshoe Hare Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
