[mou-net] Gray Partidge

2011-10-21 Thread Matt S
Hello all I am doing a big year and am traveling around doing some clean up. I am told that Hope MN and the area around Blue Mound SP may be good for Gray Partridge. Can anyone give me an idea of how reliable these birds are in these areas, or, perhaps you know of a better, more reliable spot?

2011-10-21 Thread Terence Brashear
I have had an Ovenbird in the yard since the beginning of September. It can fly partially, but appears to have some sort of wing injury. I saw it this morning eating sunflower chips.  It is getting rather late for this bird to be around.   Terry Brashear Hennepin County, MN
