[mou-net] Redpolls

I was just getting ready to pout, sulk, and feel left out when, yesterday (Friday), the redpolls showed up in Plymouth. One yesterday and all his buddies today. Sid Stivland Plymouth Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archive

[mou-net] Fantastic day at Sax-Zim Bog & Canal Park

This morning with a friend, I birded Sax-Zim Bog. We started about 7:25am on County Road 7, and birded until about 1:00pm. What a wonderful day of birds today!

I made another visit to the Sax-Zim bog today and had a pretty good day, despite the cold. I saw a Northern Hawk Owl at the intersection of Sax and 7. This bird was very close to the road which enabled me to get some full frame pictures. Also on 7 near the Sax intersection was a flock of around
