[mou-net] Fw: Sherburne NWR

Tuesday morning Vic Lewis, Bill Brown and I spent a chilly, breezy, buggy morning birding Sherburne NWR.  Counting birds we saw driving up and back we got 71 species. We were not able to find the cerulean warbler and it was too windy to hear the least bitterns.  Highlights were a great view of

[mou-net] Another Pelican Update

Jim Otto called a little after 9am this morning to say that the Brown Pelican had just flown into its favorite spot on the rocks by the 2 buoys that can be seen from Jason Adam Ct. off Co. Rd. 13 in Le Sueur County. It was not there, or any where else that Doug Kieser and I looked last night. In

Re: [mou-net] Another Pelican Update

Bob, Sorry to tag on to your e-mail but I am not very technical. At my lake cabin on Osakis I saw a Clarks Grebe. This is not the hybrid we have been seeing the last few years on the South side of the lake. I saw it about 5 feet off my starboard bow and it was clearly a Clarks. I saw it on

Birders, Wednesday evening I re-found 2 of 3 Black-crowned Night Herons found by Jim Mattson in the dead trees on the un-named lake on the S. side of Cliff Rd. off of Robert Trail. (Hwy 3). 2 out of 3 ain't bad. It was FOY and a county 1st for me. Thanks to Jim Mattson for the mention. -- Sinc

[mou-net] Lake Vadnais, Ramsey County

There were at least 20 Am. White Pelicans on the western portion of Lake Vadnais along Rice Street, probably at least 20 additional pelicans flew off just as we arrived. In the same area were 20 egrets. While we were observing the birds on the water, high above a flock of 57 pelicans flew over h

[mou-net] cc: re: [mou-net] Lake Vadnais, Ramsey County

I was also at Lake Vadnais this morning, and in addition to Gail's report, found a pair of Broad-Winged Hawks, frequently calling and also chasing other birds off. Nearby, before seeing the birds, I found what looks like a hawk or owl nest, though I didn't see the birds at the nest at any point

Liz Stanley posted about a summer tanager at Afton SP. I got a brief look at the bird today and recorded the song and some calls. The bird had no red - only yellow. If someone with expertise with this bird wishes to hear these please, email me and I will send the recordings. Thanks Larry S lms

[mou-net] Afton State Park-wrong again ;(

I went back again after dinner to see if I could get a better look at the bird. I also recruited a more experienced birder to accompany me. What we found was - a female orchard oriole (that was obviously what I saw). She was not the one doing the singing though. There was also a first year male

[mou-net] No Brown Pelican at its post

I found a gaggle of birders at the Jason Adam Ct. location when I arrived at 2:15 today, July 2. ?I did not leave the spot until 9:30 when it was too dark to see the rocks. ?The other birders had been in the area since 1:00ish. ?So - in all that time the Brown Pelican made no appearance. ?There'
