[mou-net] Varied Thrush--Sherburne Coundy

2018-02-01 Thread Paul Gunderson 
Had a male Varied Thrush eating cracked corn on my driveway at 1:30 this 
afternoon. He fed for ten minutes and flew to a small oak in my front yard 
where he remained for several minutes before disappearing into the woods along 
Tibbits Brook in my back yard.

I’ll post again if it returns and/or becomes a repeat visitor.

[mou-net] Hoary Redpoll(s), Brown Thrasher continuing, Downtown Minneapolis

2018-02-01 Thread Doug Kieser 
Lunch-hours walks continue to produce surprisingly good birding downtown,
including:

Common Redpolls and 1-2 Hoary Redpolls can be fairly consistently found
feeding on birch catkins in the Cancer Survivors Park, east side of
Nicollet south of Washington Ave.

Brown Thrasher and numerous White-throated Sparrows continue in the thick
yew cover on the west side of Marquette Ave. between 1st & 2nd streets.

Today, a small flock of American Robins were feeding on crab apples along
Hennepin Ave. north of Washington.

Both Merlin and Cooper's Hawk have been seen in this general area this
week, Peregrine Falcon and Bald Eagle the previous week.
