[mou-net] Sandhills
FOY for me, although we heard some flying over the house yesterday. They 0⁰pwere in a field off Henn. Co. 13, just south of Henn. Co. 144 in Rogers. Saw some FOY Hooded Mergansers on the Mississippi off the Dayton boat ramp on 3/15. Not sure if that is Wright or Hennepin Co.

About 3:00 Sunday afternoon, there was a single sandhill crane calling over the St. Louis Park Byerlys. About 3:30 Sunday afternoon, there was a single sandhill crane calling over Cedar Lake in Minneapolis. The same bird? Maybe. -- Don Beimborn Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

[mou-net] Sandhills in our marsh - Robins in our fir
We live just south of Carlos Avery WMA in Columbus, near Forest Lake in SE Anoka Co. For the past 10 or so years, we have enjoyed the explosion of cranes nesting at Carlos and feeding all over this area. THIS year, we may be hosting a pair in one of our marshes... maybe. They have been here 24-hrs a day for over 2 weeks - been back for at least 3 weeks. They call frequently, even at 2-3-4:00 a.m. (this is NOT a complaint!) answering others in farther-away marshes with the same number of calls each time. So neat to hear them 'talking' amongst themselves...! But over the last few days as it has been warmer (was - now cool and snow/sleet today), our increased outdoor activity may have chased them out to a more remote location. We'll have to see... Also this week we have noted the arrivals of phoebes, both kinglets, tree swallows, fox and swamp sparrows to go with the song already here, more migrant juncos, and there is a 'tenement' birch nesting happening, with downy woodpeckers near the top and red-bellied down below! And the silly robins are trying for the 3rd year to 'hide' the nest in a very small fir... We'll have to restrict our activity on that side of the house again. The last 2 years the nest was predated by a jay. ah, spring, how puddle-wonderful! Holly Peirson SE Anoka Co.

[mou-net] Sandhills & Hooded Mergansers
We have several sandhill cranes flying around the HQ/Office this morning, 3 hooded mergansers in the St. Francis River outside my office window, and the first chipmunk is standing out in the yard in the snow - looking a little bleary-eyed!
