The Ross's goose was in plain sight on the water on the golf course from 1:00 - 
2:00 today swimming with a large flock of Canada Geese.
 
Thanks,

[mou-net] FW: the national Farm Bill and land conservation

2013-11-18 Thread G Andersson

Including a provision in the bill that would require "conservation
compliance" for recipients of Crop Insurance subsidies would moderate damage
to the environment.

Subject: the national Farm Bill and land conservation

 

300,000 acres of grassland were converted to cultivation last year in MN.
The Farm Bill is in conference now.  

Sen. Klobuchar, and Reps. Waltz and Peterson are on the conference
committee.  I could not edit the comte list in the file (pdf), but it also
includes some info about the bill.  Clicking on the http://  address below
also has the info (no need to tweet or f.book) 

(This message was sent to Audubon MN Environmental Issues Comte.)

Good morning conservation partners,

 

TODAY is the national call-in day to members of Congress in support of
conservation in the Farm Bill.  Please join fellow conservationists around
the country in letting your delegation know these issues matter to you and
your community.

 

All members need to hear from you, and members of the Farm Bill Conference
Committee are particularly important.  Please see the attached flyer for
more information, and take a few minutes today to call your Senators and
Representative.  Please also share this with your personal and professional
conservation networks.

 

If your organization is on Twitter, you can also spread the word with this
sample tweet:

Call Congress TODAY to speak up for wildlife and conservation in the
 #FarmBill...

[mou-net] Ross's Goose at Wirth

2013-11-18 Thread Jamie McBride
Ross's Goose still present as of 8:45 am Monday at Wirth Golf course just
north of Hwy 55 and South of Bassett's Creek. I used Terence's description
of the location to find it. It was visible from Wirth Parkway. Thanks to
all who posted how to find it.
