[mou-net] Indigo Bunting!

[Kathryn Rudd]

At 2 pm today, I had the thrill of seeing a beautiful male Indigo Bunting 
searching for food in my fly-through. There was just enough sunlight through 
the clouds to show his gorgeous blue!

We've got a gorgeous Indigo Bunting at our back yard feeders today. He's joined 
the pair of Red-breasted Grosbeaks, Baltimore Orioles and plenty of American 
Goldfinches. It's a rainbow in my yard!

We have a gorgeous Indigo Bunting about 10 feet away from our back porch here 
in Chaska this morning. It's been perching in the trees and foraging on the 
ground. It joins the Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Hummingbird that arrived on 
Monday.

  Subject: Black-bellied plover

  I stopped at the Sleepy Eye sewage ponds on my way home from the MBW and =
  was rewarded with a beautiful black-bellied plover in breeding plumage.  =
  It was walking on the berm between the front and back ponds.=20

   There was plenty of activity in the back pond -=20
  30+ Wilson's phalaropes, 5 Willets, many peeps and yellowlegs, and a few =
  dunlin. Also a nice variety of waterfowl.

  I also found several red-necked grebes on Braunworth lake, just NE of =
  Young America on 25.

  This morning, red-breasted grosbeaks and Baltimore oriole at the =
  feeders.

[mou-net] Indigo bunting Cook Co.

[Jim & Carol Tveekrem]

I was lucky enough to be looking out a window when a bright male Indigo 
Bunting landed on the ground near the veggie garden.  Several juncos and 
blue jays were the only other birds nearby.  It didn't stay long, darn 
it.  Bird appeared to be an adult, no brown in wings or elsewhere.  We 
usually don't see these here until mid-May or later.  The system 
bringing the thunderstorms up from southwest must have blown this fellow 
in.  Local winds have been north, east or somewhere between for days.  
Briefly west late yesterday afternoon.


After not seeing any Common Redpolls for several days, we had 6 of them 
on April 21.  They scrounged a few seeds and left.  Tree Sparrows have 
also moved on - numbers dwindled to one bird by the 20th and now none 
for several days.  Still plenty of Juncos and Song Sparrows.  So far no 
Chipping Sp, Whitethroated or others


A friend in Tofte saw a Hermit Thrush on April 22.

Species numerous along Hwy 61 between Schroeder and Silver Bay yesterday:
  Bald Eagle, at least 5 different birds, 3 adults, one being harassed 
by a crow.

  Am. Kestrel
  Com. Flicker
  Com. Grackle
  Robins
  Crows

Looking at the lake:Pied billed Grebe - 3 at end of Baraga Cross Rd.
  Common Goldeneye - small groups along the shore
  Long-tailed Duck - flocks strung out beyond identification with a 
scope - 15 or more birds in each group, all birds staying about the same 
distance from shore.
