[mou] Ravens

I visited local raven nests yesterday and noticed that young had hatched and were large enough to be seen as the adult fed them. This morning I had the opportunity to see an encounter between a raven and a muskrat that was walking one of the streets in Ely but far from water. The muskrat was de

Hi Birders, What a great day we had in Aiktin County on Saturday with the Bee-Nay-She bird group. While we were enjoying a flock of 41 American White Pelicans, Warren Nelson started his birthday (birdday, maybe?) out with finding a Cattle Egret. This was along CR 15 west of Aitkin and is known as
