[mou-net] Lesser Goldfinch still present
I’m sending this because there have been no updates on mou-net since Kim Emerson’s initial postings: I heard second-hand that the goldfinch did reappear today, but it apparently does not look in good condition. Thanks to Heidi for allowing visitors and to Kimberly for her earlier postings. –Kim Eckert, Duluth Begin forwarded message: From: Kimberly Emerson Subject: Re: [mou-net] LESSER GOLDFINCH - WARREN, MN - MARSHALL COUNTY Date: December 10, 2019 at 10:34:16 AM CST To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU Reply-To: Kimberly Emerson More info from Heidi: With the following caveats, we welcome people who want to see the bird.

[mou-net] Bde Maka Ska still on
(Posted by Chet A. Meyers via moumn.org) Bde MakaSka (Calhoun) was still about 1/3 open this morning in 6Ë F. weather. A few very hardy birds still present: common mergansers, American goldeneye, and six sleeping swans. Could not ID but probably trumpeters. Why still open? The lake is over 90 feet deep and one of the last to freeze over. Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
