[mou-net] White-winged crossbill, Hubbard County
I found single female (or juvenile?) white-winged crossbill in Lake Alice Bog this morning. It was calling and foraging high in spruces.

Re: [mou-net] Tollefson Woods in Dodge County private property sign
When I was chair of the MOU Awards Committee, the committee sent a Certificate of Appreciation from the MOU to the Tollefson family for their continuing hospitality in allowing birders to enter this property. I remember it was sent to Beth Tollefson, but I no longer have her contact information or remember where I got it. Maybe if someone could contact her or one of the other Tollefsons and remind them of this certificate, I’d think they would consider MOU members to be "invited guests” as long as we followed whatever guidelines they’d like to put in place. –Kim Eckert, Duluth On May 31, 2020, at 11:28 AM, Brad Abendroth wrote: I already posted this to Facebook.

[mou-net] Eurasian Tree Sparrow and Yellow-headed Blackbird in Two Harbors
The Eurasian Tree Sparrow that was originally reported by Sharon Lind on Friday and then seen again by Bruce Munson on Saturday is still present as of 8:00 A.M this morning in Two Harbors. Someone has been spreading seed in the first space of a parking lot at the corner of 6th Street and South Avenue and that is where the bird was sited. The YHBB was seen at the same location this morning. I will post a photo of the immature male / female (not sure which but believe it's the former due to the presence of a white wing patch) later today. I plan to stay a bit longer to try to get a photo of the Tree Sparrow as well. There was also a clay-colored sparrow present at the same feeding area.
