The sub-adult Long-tailed Jaeger has been seen all morning from parking lot #1 at the base of Wisconsin Point. Shortly after noon, Jim Lind and I saw a juvenile Pomarine and a sub-adult Parasitic. All 3 species were well-photographed again today. A Red-throated Loon, Franklin's Gull, Thayer's G

[mou-net] Wisconsin Point Jaegers

I arrived at the first parking lot at 9:30am and met a birder from Madison, WI and a MN Birder name Dan C. We spotted the adult Long-tailed Jaeger chasing Ring-billed Gulls and the jaeger pretty much stayed in the area until Jim Lind and Peder Svingen showed up. At one time the Long-tailed Jaeg

Re: [mou-net] Common Ground Dove in Bloomington

I just realized that no one has posted a follow-up to the earlier message about the second state record Common Ground Dove being found in Hyland Park late this afternoon. Some 30-40 birders were able to get there to see the bird before it appeared to go into the woods to roost for the night.

[mou-net] Further directions for Ground Dove
