[mou-net] Red-throated Loon & Lesser Scaup, Park Point this morning
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. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S14765064 Good birding, Erik Bruhnke Duluth, MN -- NATURALLY AVIAN - Birding Tours and Bird Photography birdf...@gmail.com (e-mail) www.naturallyavian.com (birding tours) www.pbase.com/birdfedr (photos) www.facebook.com/NaturallyAvian (facebook) Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

Sorry, had a senior moment. It was a Virginia Rail at the Old Cedar Bridge, not a Sora. Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
[mou-net] sora at Old Cedar Bridge
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.
