[mou-net] Winter Wren/Grant County
At 8:00 pm last night went out to refill feeders and found Winter Wren singing and foraging in the bird tree. Played songs of wren from Ibird Pro to confirm ID and wren came very close and perched for a moment on shepherds hook and continued to sing.

[mou-net] Paper Session Book Sale
Good morning fellow MOU members. First of all many thanks to all of you who have generously donated books for past book sales and to those of you who have supported the MOU and added to your bird library by purchasing these books. This is an important source of income for the MOU averaging approximately $1,000 per year the last few years. This income helps us fund the many projects we support in the interest of bird education, conservation, etc. Also, thanks to John Moriarty for coordinating the paper session book sale the last few years and to Denny and Barb Martin for helping for several years before that. John has indicated that he will not be able to coordinate the book sale this year, so we need a new volunteer or volunteers to help us with this. The responsibilities of this coordinator include soliciting and collecting books from donors throughout the year (A number of traveling birders around the state have traditionally helped with this.), pricing the books, getting the books to the Bell Museum the day of the paper session (December 5, 2015, this year), staffing the book table and selling the books the day of the paper session. We have a place for storing books prior to the paper session and John Moriarty has indicated that he would assist the new volunteer (-s) as needed. Please contact me if you would be willing to help us as our book sale coordinator. Maybe several of you could form a team to do this. Also, the paper session is only four months away. If you have books to donate, please contact me and we will try to arrange to collect them. Many thanks, Roy Zimmerman President, MOU 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] Hooded Warbler - Wright Co.
Yesterday afternoon Ron Erpelding found a male Hooded Warbler in Lake Maria State Park. Take the road to the interpretive center and as you pass it you will come to a parking lot. Ron found the bird on the right-hand side of the parking lot a short way up the trail towards the interpretive center. I just found it on the opposite side of the parking lot. I also had a brief look at what I believe was a female/first year bird near the brown Trailhead Parking sign.

[mou-net] Fwd: [mou-net] Hooded Warbler - Wright Co.
After over an hour searching around the center and the west end of the parking lot I went to the horse camp area at the east end of the lot and was able to find an immature Hooded Warbler near the outhouse. Thanks Ron and Herb.
