It may have been the snowy owl, not so surprising given that this was at
the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport in a season when there were many reports
from along the runways of snowy owls. My plane was at the top of a runway
waiting for the signal to go, and there sat the dingy snowy owl on a cell
One summer about 10 years ago when I was living in Kalamazoo, MI there was a
period of about a week where there were 2 Mississippi Kites (one juvenile and

numbers seem to have been gradually increasing away

I was blessed to have a family reunion at Whitewater State Park this week and

Earlier in the summer, I still had a couple of Red-breasted Nuthatches coming
to the feeder and wondered if they might nest near my yard in East Grand
Forks/Polk County. I hadn't seen any for awhile now but thought I heard one
very faintly yesterday, and for sure heard 2 closer by this
