[mou-net] Savaloja Grant Proposals Sought

[Steve Wilson]

MOU is seeking proposals for bird-related projects to be funded from the 
Savaloja Memorial Fund. Grants can be awarded for projects that increase our 
understanding of birds, promote preservation of birds and their natural 
habitats, or increase public interest in birds. Proposals that involve 
populations currently underrepresented in Minnesota's birding community are 
welcome as a means of broadening public support for birds and their habitat.

Awards typically range from a few hundred dollars up to as much as $4000.  In 
2016 six grants, totaling nearly $10,000, were awarded by MOU for education, 
research and habitat management (further details on these and past projects can 
be found at http://moumn.org/grants.html). However, $5000 in available funds 
was not awarded because of a lack of qualifying proposals. So if your 
organization has an idea for a great project, please consider applying! 

Application information may be obtained at the link given in the previous 
paragraph. The deadline for receipt of grant applications is January 31, 2017. 
Grant recipients will be notified by April 1, 2017.

Chair, MOU Savaloja Committee

[mou-net] WHITE-WINGED DOVE ANOKA COUNTY

[Alex Sundvall]

Hello all,
Mark Junghans has just reported a WHITE-WINGED DOVE in ANOKA COUNTY today.
Visiting his feeders, and viewable from inside. Call him at 763-438-1563
for details on location and whether the bird is present if you're
interested in viewing. It was last seen this morning roosting in a Scots
Pine tree. Here's the link to the photo, though it may only work if you're
on facebook, I'm not sure.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all,
