Many thanks to Ken Vail, Mark, and 5 other birders for arranging a cell phone network yesterday evening, so all of us could have wonderful views of one of the Dodge Cty owls. I've looked back at other posts, and this owl was in almost the exact same place it had been on other sightings: in

Thanks for the reference. As a member of the Shoreview Bike and Trails Committee, I heard a presentation from Greg Mack, head of Ramsey Count Parks and Rec, recently that included a description of the Lake Vadnais project. The underlying reason for closing the road is the high cost of

Lived in my south Minneapolis home since October 1993, and I think this is the first time I've seen a red-bellied woodpecker in the tree.  Must be the strange weather. Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

In case others are interested, yes, the Carolina Wren is still at the Visitor Center at Wild River State Park. If you are planning a trip, best to check with me or the Park to see if the Visitor Center is open (limited winter hours). I can open the Visitor Center as needed to view the bird.
