[mou-net] Update: Carolina Wren - Washington County
Hi everyone, since i’ve been receiving inquires about the Washington County Carolina Wren here’s an update and some additional birds to check for if you’re in the area anyway... you know, for all you Jan. 1st birders 😉 (me included :)) Carolina Wren: Still showing up at my Mom’s house very regularly in the morning and evening at minimum, for the morning feeding I would say arrive by 7:25 AM, for the evening feeding arrive by 3:30 PM. Park in the road, walk up the driveway, go to the left of the orange garage, the bird feeders are in the back yard. 1237 Summit Avenue Saint Paul Park Here’s some other good winter birds/spots in St. Paul Park or within a couple mile radius worth checking out: Merlin: Seen in Saint Paul Park year round, I usually see him perched toward the top of the biggest/oldest trees in this specific area (44.83.6636 -92.995972) scan in about a 6 block radius. In all directions. Red Shouldered Hawk: RSHA regularly nest on a home owners property across the street from the old Mississippi Dunes Golf course and have overwintered here in the past. Park here (44.799054. -92.974095), walk up road to either side of creek and stand in the right of way area. RBNU are also present at this location. Great habitat for a winter wren as well... Northern Shrike This location has hosted a wintering Northern Shrike for years now. (44.826861 -92.996844) Just park anywhere along the road and stand in the right of way. Grey Cloud Island Gravel Pit: This one is actually an eBird hot spot. I was just there yesterday and some of the water is still open and I observed 10 species of waterfowl. Park here (44.786430 -92.973554). Bring a scope and park your self just behind the big rock by the fence and you’ll be set!

[mou-net] 140th Street Marsh deforested
I drove past the marsh today and noticed that most of the cedars and other trees on the north and east side have been bulldozed into piles. Lots of good bird habitat destroyed. Still, a rough-legged hawk, juncos and goldfinches were seen. -- Claudia Egelhoff West Saint Paul, MN 55118 Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html During the pandemic, the MOU encourages you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and continue to bird responsibly.
[mou-net] Chanhassen Tufted Titmouse
We’ve had a Tufted Titmouse visiting our feeders since early November. I thought it left the area just prior to last week’s blizzard , because we hadn’t seen it since 12/21, but it reappeared this morning for an hour or so. We also have two Flickers overwintering in the area Paul Worwa Chanhassen Sent from my iPhone Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html During the pandemic, the MOU encourages you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and continue to bird responsibly.
