Returning at about 6pm I was able to refine the location where I saw the
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, while traveling at 70mph. The bird was at or
just south of 250th Street on the NW side of 169. However, I was unable to
refind the bird at 6pm.

On Sunday I led a MRVAC field trip to Collischan Road in Red Wing. We found:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo - great look carrying food
Acadian Flycatcher - vocal pair was observed feeding young in nest. Probably
first county record of nesting
Ovenbirds - numerous, but unseen
Cerulean Warbler - two heard
At about 6:00 pm tonight I located a Western Kingbird while birding north of
Austin. I spent over an hour observing and photographing the bird. I

Steve Weston just called to report a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Scott
County that he saw while driving down US 169 south of Belle Plaine. He
saw it flying across the road, apparently with the intent of landing on

John,
Congratulations on your re-nesting EBB's. I would highly recommend that you
do not disturb the HOSP nest at this point and instead install a sparrow
spooker ASAP on the EBB nest box.
Here is an example of a spooker: http://www.sialis.org/sparrowspooker.htm

While I understand Mike's point, I look at this issue from a slightly
different perspective. Firstly, I am not embarrassed by the fact that a
sighting of mine has been rejected by MOURC. Their standards are high
and that is as it should be. By the same token, a rejection does not

If the rejection of a report was a personal rejection and thus a legitimate
source of embarrassment, then I'd agree with Mike. But the ideal situation
would be for us to look at bird reports as what they are--one birder's

we are going to Chicago this weekend, and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend

Last night's impromptu evening BBA check confirmed a suspicion that
spotted sandpipers have claimed a summer place in downtown St. Paul,
in the "empty" industrial lot just west of the new Xcel Energy plant.
It's a high sand/dirt flat, dotted with dozens of shallow, ephemeral
