[mou-net] Red-throated Loon & Lesser Scaup, Park Point this morning

2013-07-24 Thread Erik Bruhnke
This morning before work, I found a breeding-plumage Red-throated Loon from
the lake-side of the Sky Harbor Airport on Park Point. First time I've ever
seen this species in breeding plumage, as they are often in non-breeding
plumage when they arrive here in their small numbers! Another highlight was
seeing two Lesser Scaup, which seems very early for this species. eBird
list from birding this morning at Park Point, is below.

Good birding,

[mou-net] old cedar bridge

Sorry, had a senior moment. It was a Virginia Rail at the Old Cedar Bridge, not 
a Sora.

[mou-net] sora at Old Cedar Bridge

2013-07-24 Thread Ronald Cordes
At noon today there was a sora feeding just east of the viewing platform at the 
Old Cedar Bridge in Bloomington, Hennepin county.

There were also several marsh wrens very busy building nests, gathering 
material from old cattails.

Birds and Beers will be meeting at 6pm on Thursday July 25th at the Black
Forest Inn in Minneapolis, 26th and Nicollet Ave S.  Park in back.

Birds and Beers is an informal gathering of birders of all
abilities–if you're interested in birds, you're invited. You can meet other
birders–maybe find a carpool buddy, ask about where to find target birds,
share cool research projects you might be working on, ask a bird feeding
question, share life lists, share some digiscoping tips, promote your
blog–the sky's the limit. It's low key and it's fun.
