[mou-net] Mou at the fair

[kkelnberger]

Thanks to all of the volunteers who have signed up to work at the MOU 
booth.  There are a few remaining shifts.


It is important that these two 5-9 shifts have at least one volunteer.  
The DNR requires that we keep our booth open until 9:00 because the main 
DNR building is open until 9:00 and that is where we store our cabinets.


Two volunteers best but one will do
Saturday August 25:  5-9
Friday August 31:   5-9

One volunteer needed for these shifts:
Friday August 24: 5-9
Monday August 27: 1-5
Thursday August 30: 5-9
Saturday September 1: 5-9

[mou-net] Black-backed woodpecker

[kkelnberger]

I observed a black-backed woodpecker working on a tree adjacent to the 
Clearwater Road in Cook County.  The light was dim and I was not 
carrying bins so I don't know if it had the yellow forehead patch.  
First black-backed I have seen in about 4 years.  I will email again if 
I re-locate it.

[mou-net] Thanks to MOU at the fair volunteers- shifts are very close to filled

[kkelnberger]

only one shift is without any volunteers:  Friday, 8/25 from 5-9.  This 
is the hard shift to fill but it has some advantages.  You can enjoy the 
food and fun of the fair and then rest at the MOU booth and listen to 
the music.  It is usually less windy, cooler and not so busy at night.  
MOU will pay for your ticket.


Three shifts could use one more volunteer:
Sunday 8/27 and Monday 8/28 from 5-9
Monday, the last day of the fair- 9/4 from 1-5

and that's all!  thanks again

  Many of the evening shifts are not filled.  If you like to listen to 
music, this is the shift for you.  The nights are cool and the wind has 
usually died down. Evenings at the fair can be quite nice, especially if 
you have spent the day at the fair... sit down and rest those tired 
feet...yes, we have chairs!

[mou-net] Nashville warbler active at night?

 A friend made a recording of a bird song, at midnight and after, which 
resembles a nashville warbler song.  Is that unusual or even possible.  
My friend was doing the frog survey for the DNR.

[mou-net] crossbill near gunflint trail, cook county

[kkelnberger]

 Tuesday,I was birding with a photographer who has a camera with a great 
lens.  We were looking for purple finches but when he showed me the 
closeup- the bill was decidedly  crossed. He saw 4-5 birds.   The light 
was bad but the bird did not have wing bars and its head appeared 
mottled with red.  When I get the pictures, I will post on the MOU site. 
 Location: gunflint trail, clearwater road (22/66) near the south 
bearskin road.

Kudos to both loyal and new volunteers!  You pay not only the admission 
to the fair, but also accept the inconveniences of getting there.  You 
donate time in excess of the 4 hours you spend at the booth!  Our MOU 
booth is the only venue for birding clubs at the fair.

Re: [mou-net] State fair open shifts

[kkelnberger]

  The fair starts in about two weeks.  Many shifts need volunteers.  If 
your schedule allows, volunteer for more than one shift and we will 
reimburse the price of your tickets.  The 5-9 shifts are flexible in 
that you can close shop when visitors stop coming.  In these late days 
of August, the 5-9 shift ends in the dark.  Its an easy shift and 
putting away the booth means piling stuff inside and on top of the 
counter and wheeling it into DNR building.  Much easier than in the 
folding table days!



Thursday August 27: All shifts filled!


Friday, August 28 and Saturday, August 29 need 1 (or 2) volunteers for 
the 5-9 shift.


Sunday August 30: 9-1 and 1-5 both need one or two volunteers

Monday August 31: All shifts filled

Tuesday  September 1:   5-9 one or two volunteers needed

Wednesday September 2:   9-1 has one volunteers, one more needed

Thursday September 3: 1-5 could use one more volunteer and the 5-9 
shift is open for two volunteers


Friday September 4: 1-5 one volunteer needed, 5-9 needs one or two 
volunteers.


Saturday September 5:   1-5 needs two  volunteers and  5-9 has one 
volunteer.

[mou-net] MOU at the state fair 2015 August 27-Sept. 7

[kkelnberger]

The shifts for the first day of the fair (8/27) are filled!  A few 
shifts for the remaining days also have volunteers.  With the end of 
July close and the fair not too far distant, we are asking MOU members 
and those who subscribe to the list serves to check the calendar and see 
if a shift or two might work in your schedule.  Our set-up and take-down 
are very much improved over past years.  Volunteers report that they 
enjoy visiting with fair-goers about birds.  You do not have to be an 
expert birder to volunteer at the fair!  Beginners very welcome!  I have 
included my telephone number because our internet is in transition and 
very slow and unreliable. We have an answering machine with a quirky 
please leave message!

[mou-net] MOU at the state fair 2015 August 27-Sept. 7

[kkelnberger]

Our state fair starts August 27th and continues through Labor Day, 
September 7th.  The Minnesota Ornithologists' Union welcomes volunteers 
to work at our Minnesota State Fair booth on the DNR campus.  
Volunteers report back that they really enjoy talking with fair 
visitors about birds. Our booth set-up and take down have been 
streamlined with a wheeled cart where everything needed is stored.  
Because of DNR budget constraints, we no longer receive tickets.  We 
encourage volunteers to purchase  their own tickets as a donation to 
MOU.  There will be some money available for reimbursement, especially 
for those who sign up for multiple shifts. Our Google calendar is up 
and ready for sign-up. If you wish, I will sign you up- just email me 
your preferred dates.

Kate Kelnberger  I just returned from setting up the booth.
The food vendors are cooking, the fish are in the pool and the animals
are in 
the barns.

At the MOU booth the new rolling table (like the Wolf Center's) is ready
to go.
It should make moving and storing the materials much easier.
The full color bird bookmarks are printed and are ready to hand out.
We can still use any bird stamps that you want to donate as each year
the supply 
dwindles.
(But we do have some new ink pads!)

There are a few shifts that have openings.
It's a great opportunity to meet fellow birders and share your bird
knowledge 
with the public.
In fact you could even volunteer with the MOU President Roy Zimmerman!

Remember your entry fee will be covered by our anonymous donor.

Here are the open shifts:
Friday August 22 5-9 p.m. WE NEED TWO VOLUNTEERS

Sunday August 24 5-9 p.m. with Sid Stivland

[mou-net] Re-do MOU at the State Fair. Note Google password change

Greetings State Fair volunteers,

 Hooray!  An anonymous donor has offered to pay for tickets for MOU 
state fair volunteers so we are continuing  sign-ups for this year's 
fair.  This is fabulous news for those interested in birding and bird 
conservation.  Our booth has always been very popular with fair goers so 
we are elated to be able to continue our booth un-interrupted.  We are 
also REALLY streamlining our display.  Our booth will be a rollout, 
lockable cabinet.  One piece that one volunteer can take out and put 
away.  While 2 volunteers per shift is always ideal, we realize that it 
is not always real world.

The Google calendar is awaiting your  sign up.
***UGH.
***Someone tried logging in from Texas which caused Google to shut 
things down until we changed our password.

The NEW password is il0vemou.

[mou-net] Greetings to loyal State Fair Volunteers

[kkelnberger]

 We have once again been invited to host a MOU table on the DNR campus. 
DNR Budget constraints have made it necessary to eliminate the free 
tickets for volunteers.  As I mentioned in the former announcement, 
tickets may be obtained before the fair for $10.00.  At the gate, the 
age of the ticket-buyer determines the price of the ticket.  We have 
received a few sign ups on our Google calendar but not enough to cover 
the many shifts required.  July 15 is the closing date.  If you are 
interested in volunteering and are willing to pay your own way to do so, 
please email me and we will arrange a date that will work.

Thanks, Kate Kelnberger

[mou-net] Rejected posting to MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU

[kkelnberger]

Greetings State Fair volunteers,

Once again, the MOU has been invited to promote birds and bird 
conservation at the Minnesota State Fair (8/21-9/1).  There is a change 
this year; because of budget constraints, the DNR will no longer be able 
to offer complimentary tickets.Volunteers will pay their own admission.  
The cost of admission can be reduced by buying a discount ticket at Cub 
for $10.  Those tickets will be available after July 6 and until they 
are gone.  Another way to save is to go to the State Fair website (I 
googled MN State Fair admission) where posted are various options for 
discount days.  Volunteers who sign up early could choose one of the 
discount days.  In addition, the price of admission could be taken as  
donation on your tax return because MOU is a non-profit organization.


We are hopeful that volunteers who enjoy working at the MOU booth and 
visiting with fair-goers about birds will continue this great end of 
summer tradition by signing up to work the MOU booth.  Please sign up by 
July 15; we will have to discontinue our booth at the fair if we do not 
have enough volunteers signed up by mid-July.


Please know that we are looking into other options to cover the cost of 
the tickets in the future, including foundation grants or corporate 
sponsors.  We learned of the change of policy too late to do anything 
about it this year.  It will be especially helpful for you to email us 
and indicate whether or not the $10+ cost of a State Fair ticket will 
influence your decision not to volunteer this year.


The Google calendar is ready for sign up.Please feel free to email 
Jen or me with your shift choice(s) and we will be happy to sign you up.

[mou-net] gunflint trail, cook co. feeder birds

[kkelnberger]

Most of the winter we have had 4-6 pine grosbeaks. Today that number 
doubled to 12 or more.  other birds:
35 or more goldfinches, 14 -16 purple finches, and the usual bluejays 
(5) woodpeckers.  Only one nuthatch- that is interesting to me.  Also, 
no redpolls.  Canada jays have been scarce but our dog spotted a pair 
just down the road a half a mile.

[mou-net] state fair MOU booth

[kkelnberger]

I had a great time on Friday night and Saturday morning.  Kids love the 
wheel and lots of adults as well.  The new old light board was a hit 
as well.  Many would ponder all of the pictures and were very proud when 
they could name most.  I was surprised that many could figure out the 
Red-eye Vireo just by the name and the eye color!  Gave the mentor flyer 
to many parents ( and kids).  Many were interested in hawk ridge and the 
raptor release.  I was convinced that this MOU project is well worth the 
effort!  Kate Kelnberger

2 fox sparrows
FOY white throats-one bright, one dull
2 American tree sparrows
Hundreds (maybe not, but lots) juncos
dozens of redpolls
4 or so grackles
a red wing blackbird
a couple of pine siskins
3 or so male purple finches and a couple of females
New yard bird, questionable joy: a couple of starlings seen Friday and 
not since
New yard bird: a pair of spotted sandpipers totally perplexed with the 
feeders and the snow and ice

and one male cowbird, definitely not joy, which I haven't seen today.
