[mou-net] barred owl nesting

2012-04-21 Thread Jennifer Bateman
We have a Barred Owl nesting in an old wood duck house on our resort. She's 
somewhat skittish, but we see her daily and hear her nightly. I presume she is 
the same owl who nested with us last year. She produced two chicks last year, 
so we're hoping for the same success this year.

Thanks to a quick response from Larry S. we were able to observe our FOY 
Woodcocks at Afton State Park last night. Also, Brown Thrasher, Eastern 
Meadowlark and Orange-crowned Warbler.  Perfect evening.

[mou-net] Black-necked Stilt at Lily Lake

2012-04-21 Thread Chad Heins
Hey birders,
 
I'm not on the web much over the weekend, but I thought I'd give a few details 
of the bird at Lily Lake.  The bird was found by Andrew Krenz on Friday night 
around 6:15pm and foraged primarily on the south and southwest sides of the 
lake.  It disappeared a couple of times while we were watching it.  There is a 
small point with some fallen logs that it went behind a couple of times and it 
also disappeared into the grassy southwestern corner.  The bird did such a 
disappearance before we left the area and could not be relocated on Friday 
night.
 
This morning (Saturday), I relocated the  bird right away when we pulled up 
around 7:20am and we called Bob Dunlap to post it.  It was behind the small 
point again and almost immediately flew about a foot above the water to the 
west (about 100 yards), disappearing again into the grassy southwestern 
corner.  It did not look like a departure flight.  We tried to find the bird 
for another 40 minutes but then headed toward Lincoln WPA and eastern Watonwan 
County for some pre-planned birding.  I will try and relocate the bird again on 
Sunday if I have the time.  
 
Happy birding!
