[mou-net] Washington and Ramsey county birds this morning

2020-04-24 Thread Kyle TePoel
Had a pretty good morning with just under 70 species. Hoping for more
shorebirds (got only 4 species), but am still finding a good mix of
waterfowl (17 species total, including Loon, Red-Breasted Mergansers,
Horned Grebes, and a few others on Como Lake in St. Paul, plus Greater
Scaup and Redhead on a Washington County farm).

Additionally, personal firsts for the year included Green Heron, Northern
Rough-Winged and Barn Swallows (all at Maplewood Nature Center), plus a
Western Meadowlark (one vocal individual among a handful of also-vocal
Easterns at the St. Paul airport).

Oh--and another first this year--a deer tick. I guess it's that time!

[mou-net] Carver County -New Germany

2020-04-24 Thread MOU
(Posted by Chet A. Meyers  via moumn.org)

I birded Carver county in the New Germany/Mayer
area including the Tacoma wetlands and found everything
to be either dry or no mud flats.  Birded south of Cologne
also (150th St.) and it was dry.  In three hours and over
100 miles I found one tiny wetland with three yellowlegs
and I was too depressed to key them out species-wide.

Highlights from this morning's walk along the east side of the 
Mississippi River, from Coon Rapids Dam downstream to the Hwy. 610 Bridge:


Bald Eagles - 3 adults, including one on the creek nest feeding 2 
eaglets (scope definitely needed)

Common Loon - 1 on Cenaiko Lake
Great Blue Herons - still nest-building, now with 13 visible nests; view 
is rapidly being obscured by swelling buds

Brown Thrasher - heard 1
Meadowlark - a first for us in this park; in a small restored prairie 
patch by Cenaiko Lake

Savannah Sparrow - 3-4 individuals; FOY
Cliff Swallow - by Hwy. 610 Bridge; FOY

Re: [mou-net] Duluth Bluebirds

2020-04-24 Thread Laura Erickson
Bluebirds used to nest on the campus of the College of St. Scholastica
until they made a parking lot of the already somewhat marginal habitat.
It's exciting to find a place where they're trying to nest again.

[mou-net] Duluth Bluebirds

2020-04-24 Thread Rich Hoeg
In Duluth, as far as I know we don't see many Bluebirds  except during Fall 
migration. There is a pair of Bluebirds that have been hanging around the 
Lester Park Golf Course ponds for one week. Today, with the arrival of Tree 
Swallows, the male Bluebird is actively trying to defend five bird houses from 
the swallow next to the third pond. Would be cool if they nest here this summer.
