[mou-net] Junco notes

Last Friday (4/6/12) we banded 83 Dark-eyed Juncos at Carpenter Nature Center, (CNC) which is in Washington County along the St. Croix River. We caught only one Junco that was banded, which means that all the Juncos were not previously banded at CNC so were new arrivals. Birds are banded each Fr

[mou-net] Sherburne County

I think there must have been a little influx of birds again overnight.  At Sherburne HQ feeders this morning, there were 3 white-throated sparrows - my FOY (first of the year), a nice-sized flock of yellow-rumped warblers, up to six mourning doves and a small flock of 8-10 robins, along with reg

Re: [mou-net] Birding Apps

I like iBird Pro for my iTouch (Android platform). I also have the Audubon Birds program on my Nook Tablet and while that one has beautiful photos, it is much harder and slower to navigate. It is my hope that before too long, iBird Pro will be available for the Nook, it currently is not. Gail G

Erika and I are just back from a month-long road-trip to Seattle to meet a new Granddaughter. Somehow I convinced Erika that southern Texas and California were along our route. In a normal, snowy winter this itinerary may have made some sense. We had a good time, nevertheless, and did a lot of bir

[mou-net] Brown Pelican

The first one not to see the Red Wing Brown Pelican on Monday morning. Sometimes our best laid plans come to naught. I woke early Monday morning to check the reports. One just came in saying the Brown Pelican was still in Red Wing at 6:38 in the morning. I was 40 miles North of Br
