[mou-net] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Hennepin Co.)

2020-08-19 Thread Alyssa DeRubeis
I usually stick to reporting casual/accidental species, but this “rare regular” 
is in the Twin Cities, where many birders could enjoy it. 

However, this bird was sighted yesterday and just reported to the Facebook 
masses today. Two birders tried for it this evening with no luck.

But for those interested, check out Seong Oh’s eBird checklist: 
https://ebird.org/checklist/S72603587. Specifically, the bird was near the 
square loop dock.

Good luck,

[mou-net] New Germany

(Posted by Chet A. Meyers  via moumn.org)

Birded New Germany wetland between Yale and Yancy.
Habitat improving.  Numbers of lesser yellow legs, a few
pertoral sandpipers and small scattering of peeps.  With 
no big rain it should continue to draw birds.

[mou-net] Minnesota Global Birders, online: Taiwan

2020-08-19 Thread Stephen Greenfield
In the upcoming session of the informal "Minnesota global birders" group, I
will give an online presentation based on a short (6-day) birding trip to
Taiwan in 2016. In contrast to most of its neighbors, Taiwan provides
excellent protection of its habitats and birds and other wildlife. Though a
small island, it offers a good range of the families of birds of Asia, and a
number of endemic species. 

Tuesday, August 25, from 7 to 8 pm, via Zoom.

 

You can get more information and register for the presentation with
Eventbrite at the link below (or type "tinyurl.com/globalbirding33" into
your browser). 

After you register, you will receive instructions on connecting to Zoom.

 

Apologies for the late notice, but note that we plan to record the session
and make it available afterwards.
