highlights included:

Merlin (at Rapids Lake MVNWR flew over to Louisville

In Texas we returned, for a second time, to the Martin Refuge. Again, we

Looking out my kitchen window at 1:30 PM today I simultaneously saw Swainson's
Thrush (1st seen on 5/2), Gray-cheeked Thrush, Veery and Wood Thrush (all FOY),
foraging in the garden. All were in the open, on the ground, and allowing for a
nice comparison and study. Gotta love it! It would have b

This afternoon I saw a Northern Mockingbird along the 200 block of
2nd Avenue in downtown Two Harbors.
I also received a second-hand report of a possible Western Tanager
seen 3 days ago along Greenwood Lane west of the Ryan Road (St. Louis
Co.), but I am waiting to get details and directions.
The northern hawk reported yesterday by Butch Ukura was still at the
same location but just north (~0.2 miles) of CR 18 on the east side on
Hwy 169 perched at the top of a large white pine this morning around
9:10 and again this afternoon at 1:30. Did not locate the great grey
owl on CR 18 but did
On my way home from Carver County this evening, I stopped at the Pigeon Lake
overlook off of Hwy 15 in Meeker County to see what might be there. Among
all of the cormorants, pelicans, herons, and egrets on the island were a few
Ring-billed Gulls and one white goose which seemed to be roughly th

to see a flock of Cattle Eggrets on the ground about 150 yards north of 212,
about a quarter of a mile west of the intersection mentioned by Herb and
Jeff. Five minutes later the flock flew in a surprisingly tight form
