On a related note, there was a documentaty on TPT2 two nights ago on ducks.
Most of it was on a female wood duck and her family but there was also lots of
info on other dabbling and diving ducks. It will be rerun again soon I'm sure.

Around 1 pm today I saw 10 Buffleheads, male and female, and a pair of
Double-creasted Cormorants at Rebecca Park in Hastings. I viewed them on the
reservoir, facing north, a good distance out from the walkway, west of Lock

This is a GREAT documentary. Our cats even got excited and stared at the screen
for almost the whole show. Very well done and explains why Central Park is such
a great place to see migratory song birds.

This HBO documentary was excellent - I really enjoyed it. For those
interested, here's a link to information. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like
it's currently scheduled to show again anytime soon, but I'm sure it will be on
again at some point. If I see it, or hear about it, I'll try to sha
Birders, the response to the new birding group Dakota Birders has been
great. The chance for more interchange, more field trips, more citizen

St. Paul Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count has had between 15-25

longer. I lead that section of the CBC pie, and they are a site to behold!!
They hang out in the winter in the open water at the north and south end
I don't think you can post pics directly here but if you have a photobucket

I've been watching a red-breasted nuthatch getting little peanut morsels out of
our feeder, then it flies on a low trajectory across the street and buries them
in the leaf litter around my neighbors' foundations. That doesn't seem like a
safe place to store a winter larder. Why would it do that?
Today (Friday) we had a new arrival at the feeders: Pine Siskins. A
glance from a distance gave me a preliminary ID. I ran downstairs to get a
second pair of binocs, so I didn't have to approach the window and scare
off the birds. When I got back up, I was disappointed to see a house

p.s. An evening grosbeak here today is another sign of their increased
