[mou] Nicollett Cnty/Mankato area

Lars Benson and I went birding this AM, down along the MN River Valley. We failed to find the Cattle Egret at the Nicollet sewage ponds or the Snowy at Swan Lake. We did find two E. Towhees at Minneopa Prairie area (but did not hear the Henslows.) Had Red Shouldered Hawks at two locations.

Apparently - and actually much to my delight - I have a nesting pair of Brown Thrashers and they seem to have a similar behavior to the Mockingbirds. Something new learned every day. Sorry of the miss post. Can't explain the windows in the wings - maybe over excitement or morning light. Tho

[mou] Juvenile Mockingbird

After living and birding in Oklahoma for some 20 years, I was working in my yard this morning in Spring Lake Park. I heard the distinctive mimicry of a mockingbird. I have never seen one in Minnesota before, even after 15 years. And there in the tree nest to my house poised on the uppermost

[mou] Possible Gyr, Aitkin County

Spent the morning yesterday in Aitkin County - interesting mix of spring migrants and boreal birds (just short of 70 total). Along so-called "Pietz" Road off Aitkin CR 18 observed a dark brown raptor in a tree - not an unusual phenomenon except, the more I observed it, the more I thought of the
