[mou-net] Le Conte’s Sparrow/Dakota Co.
Yesterday I took John Holden to see the Nelson’s Sparrow at the 180th Street Marsh north of Vermillion, Dakota Co. Instead we found a couple of Le Conte’s Sparrows.

You may also hear this report by calling (218)847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888. Fall has definitely come now. Leaves are starting to pile up in the yards, and in the northwest trees are getting yellower. A few reds here and there sparkle in the woods. The mixture of species is changing : the warblers and flycatchers are gone and the late migrants are appearing. >From Grant County in the southernmost part of my area, Charlene Nelson reported two pairs of SNOW BUNTINGS in Elbow Lake on October 4. I hope that isn't an omen of much cold to come. Marshall Howe in Hubbard County reported HARRIS'S SPARROW, LINCOLNS SPARROW, and SWAMP SPARROW on October 4, and a PEREGRINE FALCON in Park Rapids on October 5. On October 6, he had DARK-EYED JUNCOS, WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and PIED-BILLED GREBE. On October 7, he saw a GOLDEN EAGLE and several BALD EAGLES feeding on a deer carcass. Here in Pennington County, the first WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, and HARRIS'S SPARROW joined the WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and PURPLE FINCHES feeding under our feeder on October 8.

[mou-net] MOA
I realize the Vikings Stadium glass is going to kill a lot of birds. Today I read that the new Mall Of America addition is going to be covered in glass. Won't that be a similar problem?
