[mou-net] Mille Lacs Warblers

2009-09-13 Thread Pastor Al Schirmacher
19 warblers in Hennepin & Kathio State Parks - nice to see multiple waves throughout the morning (7:30 to 12:00). Of course, do you think I could find the 20th (like Yellow, or Orange-crowned, or Canada, or Red-faced...?) Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherbur

I just saw a huge flock of white Pelicans circling this morning in Jordan, Mn. Near Sand Creek-169 and 282. They look so cool when the sun hits them. vansiclenr wrote: A flock of pelicans was circling Island Lake in Shoreview Friday 11Sept 11:00 AM. Island Lake Park is at 694 and Victo

I saw the female Harlequin Duck today in Grand Marais. She was first seen in the west bay, near the Lake Superior Trading Post. She then flew to the east bay and was foraging along the shore with a group of Common Mergansers. There have also been two Red-necked Grebes in the west bay. I saw

[mou-net] Hooded Warbler, Dakota Co.

2009-09-13 Thread KCTEPO00
Today around 12:00 I found a male Hooded Warbler at Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Dakota County. It was singing incessantly for the 10-15 minutes I was near it. I know others had seen one there this spring (and last year as well) so I'm assuming this is probably the same guy on territory.
