[mou-net] learn about Dunlin (ABC Bird of the Week) w/o multiple links

[Gordon Andersson]

These are informative and they provide the song/call and video and a great
photo.  I have copied and pasted the tiny link from the top of the original
mailing to fwd it to you--- "distinctive wader".   If you put your cursor on
the link, it will say "Control & Click" to open.  It worked for me and you
shouldn't get the chain of links that a simple fwd gives you. 

It might open in a window behind the email window.  Click any part of the
window to show it.

[mou-net] Birding Report (Duluth to Sand River, north of Two Harbors)

[Richard Hoeg]

Had an excellent time this morning. The Spruce Grouse were out on hwy #2 
between 
Greenwood Lake and Sand River (distance of about 7 miles). In addition, along 
this 
stretch I saw lots of redpolls, and a good number of pine grosbeaks and grey 
jays. I did 
not find the last 4+ miles from just past Sand River to hwy# 1 very "birdy". I 
was in the 
area from 8:30 to 10:00 am. I only saw the grouse around 8:30 am. I should have 
arrived a touch earlier.

Coming back down to the Duluth area, I stopped and watched a rough legged hawk 
successfully catch lunch on the north side of the expressway near Lakewood Rd.

Finally as I drove into my own driveway I scared a pileated woodpecker. Upon 
investigation I found a perfected drilled new woodpecker hole in a tree next to 
my 
driveway. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll get a nest. If not, at least some feeding 
will be going on 
in the yard. I live just below the 1st bridge on 7 Bridges Rd, right across 
from Amity 
Creek.

Not from today, but here is an update on the northern hawk owl (Kelly J's near 
the end of 
Jean Duluth Rd). While I never saw the owl during our severe cold, for the past 
three 
days I've seen it every day hunting on the Kelly J's side of the road ... 
anywhere from the 
farm down to the stream at the base of the hill.

I have photos of one of the Spruce Grouse I saw this morning, and a video of 
the 
Northern Hawk Owl viewable via my blog at http://www.365DaysOfBirds.Com/

[mou-net] Hastings area Eurasian Tree Sparrow?

[Rick Gibson]

I missed the Eurasian Tree Sparrow south of Hastings a few weeks ago and
would like to try again this weekend.  Has anybody heard any
reports recently?

Thanks for your updates.
