A flock of COMMON REDPOLLS was seen feeding on the catkins in the birch trees adjacent to the snowmobile trail running east from the public access in the county park on Linwood Lake in Linwood Township in Anoka County. I guess winter is coming early this year. Keith Carlson keithec...@usfamil

This morning I startled not one but three Long-eared Owls near Parley Lake at Carver Park Reserve. They were roosting together in the same tree on a low branch with some of the denser underbrush in the area when I walked by(within 10-15 feet). Luckily they did fly one by one, as I may not hav
