[mou-net] Snowy Owl correction

2011-11-26 Thread Dave Bartkey
Hi everyone, In my posting yesterday, I made an error which needs clarifying: the Steele County Snowy Owl was seen 2.5 miles east where Steele County CR 23 intersects with WASECA CR 4. There is a two steeples church at this junction as well. So sorry for the error! Good birding! Dave Bartkey

We, too, saw the article about Bob Janssen in the Star Tribune. If you have a print copy of the paper, it's in Section B page 1. Nice story about Bob's many birding activities.   Forest Kirsten Strnad Faribault, MN Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net

The Long-tailed Duck was still on Lake Calhoun this morning at 9:15. It was about 400-500 yards north of the southwest corner of the lake and easily identified from shore with binoculars. Two loons were another 100 yards north and near the northwest corner of the lake was a Pied-billed Grebe.

A friend and I looked on Lake Calhoun from 11am-noon today and we did NOT see the Long-tailed Duck. We drove around the whole lake. We did see the two Common Loons and a Horned Grebe. Please post if someone sees the bird again. Thanks, and good birding-- Alyssa DeRubeis Stevens Point, WI On

The bird was easily seen at 9AM this morning at the same location as yesterday - SW corner of Lake Calhoun.  It was spending more time submerged feeding today which makes it a little more difficult to find.   Terry Brashear Hennepin County, MN http://www.naturepixels.com birdnird AT yahoo.com

Hi all, We were unsuccessful in finding the Steele County Snowy Owl this morning. A few other birders were making an attempt as well and they were also unsuccessful to my knowledge. On a high note, there was quite a variety of waterfowl on Clear Lake in Waseca including Snow Geese,

I learned of the trapping program last year from Raptor Center staff, but the set-up time required might still give a window of time in which to see an owl, provided we check on a regular basis. Linda On Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 7:00 PM, Terence Brashear birdn...@yahoo.comwrote: The airport has
