A couple years ago I found a carcass (almost certainly a sturgeon) on the rocks 
on the lake side of Canal Park near the parking lot near the Maritime museum.  
By the time I found it it was already in pretty bad shape. I got a couple

[mou-net] Eagles on the Cannon River/Dakota Co.

2014-11-16 Thread
Hi All--

On Halloween, Erika and I watched interesting Bald Eagle behavior along the
Cannon River in Dakota Co. in the Carleton College arboretum. An apparent
pair perched in trees over the river until a first-year eagle flew
overhead. The pair watched the flying bird. Both birds loudly called. Then
the apparent adult female chased the male away and joined the young bird
over the river.

Photos are on my blog this morning: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com

A friend of mine participates in the annual Duluth deer bow hunt. On Monday 
evening, he dropped off the carcasses of a large buck and fawn, along with the 
entrails. I scattered them in my field. When I got home yesterday afternoon, 
there was not much left. At least 5 Bald Eagles were eating on the carcasses, 
along with many Ravens and Crows. This morning, my wife and son spotted two 
Timberwolves taking care of what was left. Unfortunately for me, I was already 
at work.

Re: [mou-net] eagles Highway 36

2009-04-07 Thread jmmet

hi gail-just bad timing.  I photographed them the past 2 sundays, late in
the afternoon into evening.  The female didn't come out of the nest last
sunday so only got the top of her head from across the highway but the
sunday before that the male and female switched places and for a while I got
pics of both standing in the nest being very friendly  :) with each other.
then the female flew away for a while and the male nestled down in the nest.
The male likes to sit on a branch to the right of the nest for quite a while
before he either flies away or flies into the nest.  BTW I refer to male and
female but that's not scientific-I don't know which is which--just assuming.
anyway, keep trying--seems like 5pm thru 7pm are good times. good luck.

We have not seen the eagles in the tree or on the nest at Highway 36 & 61

is the case.  Has anyone seen them recently?  I sure hope nothing has

Re: [mou-net] eagles and hooded mergansers at Red Rock, Ramsey Co

Most of the Red Rock eagles were gone this morning. I counted about 15 - 
almost all immatures in groups of 3 - 4. It's interesting that the last of the 
ice 
also disappeared last night. Meanwhile, new birds have arrived. Yesterday 
evening, I saw two egrets, a pelican and a nice variety of ducks, mostly out 
on the larger Pig's Eye Lake, just north of Red Rock. And it was exciting to 
see 
a huge vee of about 100 tundra swans calling high overhead, heading on past 
downtown St. Paul.

[mou-net] eagles and hooded mergansers at Red Rock, Ramsey Co

2009-03-28 Thread John Zakelj
This morning, between 8 - 9 at Red Rock Lake (SE corner, Ramsey Co), I saw 
fewer eagles than last week, but still well over 50.  I was particularly 
impressed by a single tree which held 23 bald eagles, most of them mature.  I 
wonder why so many mature eagles are still roosting together instead of 
nesting?  Maybe this is a feeding station on their way north?  I just hope the 
dead carp in Red Rock Lake are safe for them to eat.

Not far from the tree with the 23 eagles were another 15 - 20 eagles along 
the shore, with this group having more immatures.  At one point, about 10 
immatures took flight, chasing each other like rowdy ungainly teenagers trying 
out their huge broad wings.

Also noteworthy were over 50 hooded mergansers spread out along the length 
of Red Rock Lake.  Many were fishing quietly in mated pairs, while some were 
in groups of 4 - 5 males with a single female.  The males were bobbing their 
brightly marked hooded heads, presumably trying to get the attention of the 
single female.

Directions:  take Maxwell exit off Hwy 61 (about half mile north of I-494), 
follow Maxwell to Red Rock Road, then Red Rock Rd past the west side of 
Gerdau Ameristeel.  The tree with the 23 eagles was about halfway down the 
lake, between the lake and Hwy 61.
