[mou-net] Avocet, plegadis Ibis Le Sueur County

2019-10-27 Thread Doug Kieser
One American Avocet continues at Sanborn Lake, northeast of Montgomery.
 Also present was an immature plegadis ibis.  A flyover flock of Tundra
Swans seemed more appropriate for the weather.

[mou-net] Black Scoter Lake Byllesby, Goodhue/Dakota county

2019-10-27 Thread Justin Watts
Adult male black scoter currently visible from Goodhue county boat ramp (23rd 
ave).  Looking east with a scope from small park adjacent to ramp. 

Not many ducks on the lake. Snow buntings earlier this morning nearby at 
Randolph Industrial Park.

[mou-net] New Minnesota Birding News Service Formally Released

2019-10-27 Thread Rich Hoeg
The updated Minnesota Birding News Service is now released. 41 people installed 
the service during the beta test run over the past two weeks without a single 
hiccup.

Minnesota Birding News Service Overview

A free service without advertisements that automatically provides updates to 
the user from the top Minnesota and American birding web sites and 
organizations. Installation is a two part process:

* Install the RSS Feed Reader (Feedly)
* Import the Minnesota data (OPML file)

The service runs on Android and iOS devices (app based), and on Windows PC’s or 
MacIntosh Computers. Only one account is needed, and a user may access the 
service on as many platforms as desired. You will find various help aides 
including video tutorials and annotated screenshots. 

Feedback is welcome. I was able to decrease the costs for maintaining the 
service (all on my nickel), and lessen the technical challenges of dealing with 
Apple Computer. Thus, this new path forward looks great!
