Re: [mou-net] Late fall birds Lebanon HIlls
I also saw a good-sized flock or tundra swans overfly my house in Roseville, Ramsey County while I was shoveling snow. I heard some swans earlier before I heard and saw the swans overflying my house so they may have spent the night on Lake Owasso across the street from my home.

[mou-net] Subspecies in MN
This is a follow-up to Dave Cahlander’s announcement from Oct 13 regarding the Seasonal Reports checklist. Specifically, “sub-species have been added to keep track of the multiple sub-species seen in Minnesota.” MOURC is now accepting reports of selected subspecies. We are doing this for the following reasons: 1. The trend is for more species to be split along subspecies lines. We only see this increasing and becoming more problematic from a records-keeping standpoint. Maintaining a subspecies database prepares us for when a subspecies is elevated to full species status. 2. We want to be able to add to our knowledge of Minnesota birds by tracking them at a subspecies level. Currently, we do not have a systematic or disciplined process for understanding the status and distribution of subspecies in MN. This is a first step in that direction. A team of MOURC members selected subspecies based on the following criteria: (1) they can be identified in the field (i.e. handling is not necessary for identification), (2) they have well documented occurrences in the state, and (3) they may be considered candidates for potential splits to full species status or have been considered at some point in the past. Please note that the resulting list is not a final list of all subspecies that occur in the state and will be updated over time. Note that subspecies that we track will have an assigned status: accidental, casual or regular. The same MOURC processes will apply based on these status. For example, a report of an “Audubon’s” Yellow-rumped Warbler, having an accidental status, will require a request for documentation (RQD) form. You can assist us in developing a better understanding of the occurrence of subspecies in the state by submitting sightings via the MOU Seasonal Reports web site at https://moumn.org/moureports/season.php.

[mou-net] Peregrine at Pentair & Cedar Boardwalk
(Posted by Chet A. Meyers via moumn.org) Yesterday I observed a peregrine falcon chasing a red-tailed hawk around the Pentair Building just off 394 and 100. I also visited the old Cedar Ave. boardwalk. They will be repaving the road sometime next week and it should be open to the public Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
Re: [mou-net] Tundra Swan fly-over
I shared the same at Central and Lowry NE. Minneapolis. Three massive formations passed just below the cloud deck heading to the southeast. Cheers, Gary C.

[mou-net] American Tree Sp.
(Posted by Connie Grundhofer via moumn.org) First American Tree Sparrow for us this fall was yesterday afternoon. Also this Saturday starts the count for Project FeederWatch. A great way to help scientist learn more about birds. What is consistent and what changes are there by looking at the data that you collect. You just look out your window and count. https://feederwatch.org/about/how-to-participate/ 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] Nov. 9 Cape May Warbler - Hennepin Co.
We have been seeing a young Cape May Warbler at our suet feeder nearly every morning, including today. I wonder how long it will stay around? Steve Broste Champlin, Hennepin Co.
