[mou-net] Pelican Dakota cty at Black Dog
The injured pelican is still on the east end of Black Dog Road. Does anyone know of someone who can rescue the bird? It was on the shore when I saw it. I'm surprised it lasted past the Polar Vortex.

[mou-net] Black Dog road; Dakota Cty
Black Dog road is open again, but there is a sign at each end warning that it's a minimal maintenance road and to travel at your own risk. The holes are patched with loose rock so it is passable. I'm assuming when it snows it may not be a good road for travel. I counted 6 bald eagles when I drove the road yesterday late in the afternoon.

There are 2 Trumpeter Swans at the pond where the osprey nest is located, which is across from the Bush Lake Park parking lot. I saw them Sunday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon.

[mou-net] Osprey nests in Ramsey and Dakota
On Sunday I saw an osprey on the pole nest on Randolph which is off Shepard Road. It wasn't the resident male from last year. Also, the osprey nest on the tower in Black Dog Lake at the Black Dog power plant is hosting a pair of nesting Bald Eagles. They've been incubating for quite a few weeks now so the chicks should hatch soon. The nest can be seen from the road. The Twin Cities Osprey Project which is part of 3 Rivers park would appreciate reports of any sightings of osprey. Please report any sighting of an osprey (including when and where it was seen and what it appeared to be doing such as carrying nesting material, flying, perching, etc) to Judy Voigt Englund at jvengl...@threeriversparkdistrict.org.

[mou-net] Osprey
Osprey are slowly returning. The returning pair is back at the Mississippi Island station and have gotten down to work of mating. I saw an osprey at the Hyland Lake nest. The Twin Cities Osprey Project would appreciate a report of any sightings of osprey. Please report any sightings osprey, including when and where it was seen and what it appeared to be doing (carrying nesting material, flying, perching, etc).

Any reports about osprey seen in the extended area would be appreciated. It's speculated they may find a cell phone tower or another tall man made structure to nest on. Please email any reports to 3 Rivers Park. There is a pole down the road on 169 near Valley View Road which hosts an established pair.

Re: [mou-net] Wells Fargo peregrines
I apologize. I should have included the location. It's a nest tray on the east side of the Wells Fargo building which is the old Norwest Bank. The tray is under the carousel floor on the top of the building next to the shorter bank building. Look for a cam pointing to the nest like an arrow. The building is on American Boulevard between Penn Avenue and France Avenue off of I494 in Bloomington. There is a parking lot which is signed for bank parking only but I think quick birding should be ok. Viewing and photography is best early in the day before the sun goes to the west side and casts shadows.

[mou-net] Purgatory Creek Snowy Egret
The snowy egret was seen flying from one side of the creek, over the foot bridge behind Flagship offices, to the large island in front of the bridge at 6:30 pm on Friday.

I went back to Purgatory Creek on Saturday between 2 and 3. As I walked to the foot bridge, I must have startled the Snowy Egret who was just below the bridge (it startled me too).

[mou] Tagging of Trumpeter Swans
I went to Monticello 2 weeks ago to see the swans by the power plant. I picked up a flyer. In response to the question of the tagging of Trumpeter Swans, the following is quoted from the flyer...Minnesota swans are tagged on the wing. Left wing tag indicates females, right wing tag is male. Iowa swans have neck collars (white, red or green). The flyer didn't say what color Minnesota tags are. Can anyone explain why some Trumpeters have red plumage on their heads and necks? I took a photo of a swan who had red on the top of its head, down the neck and continued down its underside. http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u149/DianeGulb/Wildlife/?action=view http://s167.photobucket.com/albums/u149/DianeGulb/Wildlife/?action=viewcur rent=IMG_6041.jpg current=IMG_6041.jpg Diane Gulbrandson -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[mou] Airport Snowy Owl
This is my first post to the listserv. A post was made requesting if anyone had seen the snowy owl at the airport. I saw a snowy owl at the airport on December 19th in the early afternoon around the Fed Ex area. I was able to get a few photos of the back of its head (it didn't turn around for its photo opp). Sorry I didn't post this before. Diane Gulbrandson Minneapolis, Mn
