[mou-net] Hooded warbler-Henn Cty-9 Mile Creek/Bloomington
Hooded warbler at 9 Mile Creek. I went in at the 106th St entrance off of 35W. Go west off of the 106th street exit and the park entrance is on the left past the school. There is a steep set of steps down into the park. Cross the bridge immediately and head south towards the river. First heard singing by the large cottonwood stump and watershed building. Found the bird later a little south of the 1.6 mile market where the path comes to a T. The bird was straight ahead in the woods in the back where the buckthorn is thick. First heard the bird last Tuesday, saw the bird last Saturday and heard again today. There is a map of the park at this trailhead.

[mou-net] Dickcissels, Pilot Knob Hill
I saw male and female Dickcissels at Pilot Knob Hill natural area in Mendota Heights yesterday. This site is open to the public - it's at the corner of Pilot Knob Hill Rd and Acacia Blvd. The ones I saw were easily seen from the main trail, 50 yds in from the parking lot trailhead. This is the first time I've seen Dickcissels at this site.

Re: [mou-net] Hooded warbler-Henn Cty-9 Mile Creek/Bloomington
Hooded warbler was still there just south of mile marker 1.6 where the path 'T's. Bird was singing up a wooded slope. Can't miss the song. This was about 11:00 AM.

[mou-net] [mou-rba] Fw: No Barn Owl
- Original Message - From: Charles Krulas To: bob Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 2:31 PM Subject: No Barn Owl Searched for the reported Barn Owl without success. How ever I did find a sub-adult Barred Owl on the trail. It was not shy and perched on top of a tree then on a log over a pond and again up in a tree. It was not really concerned with my presence.

[mou-net] Sprague's Pipit still present
This morning, Butch Ukura and I drove over to Felton Prairie to check on the SPRAGUE'S PIPIT that has been reported. We arrived there shortly after 7 o'clock and walked down the fence line just past the metal pipe. We heard the bird just to south of the fence (on the wind turbine side). To our surprise, the bird was sitting on the ground, no more than thirty feet away. We watched it (and Butch photographed it) for over five minutes while it casually walked a short distance away. It then flew directly over us and began a wonderful aerial display, flying and landing several times. We got great views and were on our way before 7:30. We also got a wonderful show put on by a pair of MARBLED GODWITS a short distance further to the north. We would like to thank all of the birders who posted for their help -- it was very much appreciated.

[mou-net] Unknown Bird Song - Field Sparrow
I only had a few emails but the one I got the most responses for was a Field Sparrow with a strange song, different from its normal song. This makes the most sense to me as the song has the same tone quality as a normal Field Sparrow song and there are lots of Field Sparrows throughout Hyland in the summer. I plan on going back to the area soon to see if I can find the bird and will let people know if I find it is something other than a Field Sparrow. Thank you to everybody for the responses.
