Re: [mou-net] Warblers and thrushes feeding on the streets in Ramsey Co

Scott et al., I've also noticed way more Cape May Warblers than usual this year (seems like I'm seeing them everywhere in 1s and 2s). But I've yet to see or hear a Bay-breasted. As for birds feeding on the ground, I've been seeing a similar thing near my house. But rather than feeding on

[mou-net] Duluth, Park Point, White-winged Scoter (Tanya Beyer)

Tanya Beyer called and asked me to report a White-winged Scoter she just saw today on the Lake Superior side of Park Point, where the road curves toward the ball field. It was fairly close to shore, between the ball field and the airport, at the start of the curve. It later swam farther out.

Activity once again was quite good at both Rapids Lake and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Highlights included 2 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers making an odd attempt to harass a Great Horned Owl and 2 Mourning Warblers feeding within 10 feet of each other on the ground below a Golden-winged Warbler

Hey all- Don't worry about Bay-breasteds yet... they arrived here in southern Wisconsin in big numbers yesterday and today. I think we had 10-15 in a few hours of birding this morning. Jesse Ellis Madison, WI On Sat, May 14, 2011 at 2:09 AM, Matt Dufort zeledo...@gmail.com wrote: Scott et

[mou-net] odd mix of birds at the feeders

I have been watching a Scarlet Tanager eating at the orange halves at our feeders this morning. Along side the usual suspects (orioles), there have been Pine Siskins, a male Indigo Bunting and the continued presence of the Red Breasted Nuthatch that I would have thought would have left for the

To add to others' observations of warblers and other birds feeding underneath elm trees, I've been observing a similar mix of birds under a couple of big elms on the 3100 block of 34th Ave S in Minneapolis. In the last hour (since about noon) I've seen the following birds picking at elm seeds on

Re: [mou-net] Migrants up north (St Louis co)

Ben raises an interesting issue: I have searched in vain for a Canada warbler; I've seen virtually everything else during that search (ok, no cerulean or Conn either) but not one single Canada. The question I have: where are they? Is it the cold, nasty rainy weather? Anybody else seeing

Chad Heins just called to report that he flushed two Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks from a wetland in Madelia near the grain elevators off of Hwy. 15. He said the birds headed north after flushing; Chad is still in the area and will update me again if he finds refinds them. Bob Dunlap

Re: [mou-net] Migrants up north (St Louis co)

There was a Canada Warbler up close at head height, just off the trail on the north side of the large lake at Crosby Farm Park in St. Paul last Wednesday. It was a short distance in from the east entrance ramp. The bird happened to be foraging near a Magnolia Warbler and both gave great looks, to

Saturday: I finally got the jelly feeder out and we have at least one Oriole trying its best to empty it out. The yard this morning was jumping with hawking Yellow-rumps! I didn't see any othe warblers. I found a late flock of about 15 Lapland Longspurs near 250th and CR47 in Dakota County.
