Thank you. -Original Message- From: Minnesota Birds On Behalf Of linda whyte Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2024 4:59 PM To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [mou-net] Vesper Sparrows, Dakota C. A brief visit to the 140th St marsh (RIP) turned up some very melodic Vesper Sparrows, foraging along the roadside bushes, and the roadside itself, on the east end. Their presence gave pause -and hope - for the thought that this and other species may find the hilly grasses of the landfill worth considering, at least for a stopover. It seemed to appeal to the American Tree Sparrows (and one White-crowned) this past winter.

[mou-net] Canada Geese Occupying Eagles Nest
On the west side of Lady Slipper Park in Roseville on South Owasso Blvd. approximately two blocks west of Rice St., we have been observing one or frequently two Canada Geese occupying an eagles nest. Last winter - 2022/23 - we had observed, a pair of Bald Eagles attempt to nest there but they abandoned after a late February/early March rain. Geese were subsequently on it a few times . This year we saw eagles on it a few isolated times but no apparent attempt to nest. This time the geese are almost certainly nesting on it because it seems to be occupied full time for at least a week now . If only one goose is on the nest, she? cannot always be seen because she? rests her head back on her body preventing viewing because of the height of the nest's edges. Is this unusual? It's hard to imagine the geese raising their young there since the goslings cannot fly for two to three months but usually leave the nest 1-2 days after hatching to swim and walk. Can they possibly survive a fall of 40 to 50 feet ala Wood Ducklings?
