Hey,
Today (31) I was birding in Grand Marais and saw a cedar waxwing in an
ash tree as well as a merlin that flew over
Today I saw a snow goose on Silver Lake, in Virginia, St. Louis County.
I looked at the mou map, it looks like snow geese are not usually this
far north in the county, and the first one I have seen. It was with a
small group of Canada geese, some of the 100 or so now staying around
the lake.
Yo birders,
The Ross Goose was still present at 5:00 p.m. today at the previously
mentioned spot in the Whitewater Management Area, Winona County. There
was also what I believe to be a partial albino Canada Goose on the same pool
of water. The head and the neck were mottled white and the

I completed my first round of owl surveys last night, beneath a crystal clear,
northern Minnesota sky. My survey protocol consists of: 1/2 mile intervals
and 3-min listening periods. Owls are identified accor
I am certainly not one of the elite birders in the state but would like
to weigh in with a bit of a different opinion.
As you can see by the fact that I am just now writing about 7 or 8 day
old posts, I don't get to check e-mail at home as often as I would like. I

Each March I receive a few reports of Chipping Sparrow being heard in
Minnesota. I think there is good reason to question heard-only birds.
The table below represents currently accepted earliest arrival dates
for Chipping Sparrow in Minnesota.

There were 5 adult common loons in breeding plumage near the east shore
of Lake Phalen (in northeastern St Paul) as of noon today. Since the ice
is only about half gone, they are a bit closer to shore than might be
usual later in the spring migration. This is the most I have personally

A pair of Merlins has been calling and flying about in my neighborhood this
morning.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, my family prefers
that no birders show up unannounced on our property, at least for a
while. Please email or call ahead if you plan to check out birds in
We saw a Peregrine flying around again today. Its so nice to see her/him!
We sometimes see two of them flying around. I wonder if there is going to
be a nest downtown somewhere. They hang close to the US Bank Building (the
one with the big red "1" that lights up on top) on 5th & Mn street.
