[mou-net] Snowy Owls in Hennepin County and Varied Thrushes in Washington

At the MSP airport a Snowy Owl continues. Likely moves around a bit and can be far from the road, but best chance at a sighting is from the new aircraft observation parking lot at the end of Cargo Road. This morning the owl was on a small red and white checkered building to the NW of the lot. A

[mou-net] Ivory Gull present Saturday

This update is because no one else posted anything on mou-net since Friday morning and because I received a few inquiries. The Ivory Gull was still at Canal Park in Duluth yesterday as usual despite the colder temperatures. It will probably reappear today around 8:00 am as on previous days and

While we were loitering at Reagent and 44th in Duluth waiting for the Golden-crowned Sparrow as fans for a stage star at the back door of the theater, we did have a few interactions with the "locals". The mother who lived on the block did not know and had not seen the bird, but was not at all

There are currently two Gryfalcons near the Peavey Elevator complex on Connors Point in Superior, Wisconsin. One is a juvenile female gray/dark morph that has been seen most often in the morning. The other is an adult gray morph that is almost certainly the returning male from last winter --

[mou-net] Back from Duluth

We had a very successful trip to Duluth today. All four of us ended up with at least one lifer and one veteran birder had three lifers. We started the day at my house with a visit at my feeders by the Tufted Titmouse. The drive up was notably quiet with no Red-tailed Hawks and one Bald Eagle.

[mou-net] Ivory Gull still here Saturday

The Ivory Gull came in again to Canal Park in Duluth right on schedule this morning to a nice salmon fillet someone put out. Many observers enjoyed close views - 7:45 to 8:30, at least. Carl Haynie Sammamish, WA Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net

Re: [mou-net] Ivory Gull present Saturday

Sorry. Previous posting got cut off. Birders are asked to stay on the road, not park where they might block traffic or any driveways, and to obviously stay off any posted private property. Kim Eckert, Duluth Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 10, 2016, at 4:47 AM, KIm Eckert

[mou-net] Ivory Gull on Saturday

Sorry, all, but due to some apparent maintenance, the Mou-Net listserv delayed my post about the Ivory Gull yesterday. I actually sent the message at 9am, *yesterday* morning, not 2pm today. Very confusing! Carl Haynie Sammamish, WA Subject: Ivory Gull still here Saturday Date: Sun Jan 10 2016

[mou-net] Ivory Gull apparently gone

Unfortunately I would have to agree with Jeremy that there were apparently no sightings of the gull at Canal Park today. I spoke as well with birders who all reported that no one they talked to was aware of it being seen on Sunday. Unless it reappears in the coming days, it appears that

Re: [mou-net] Gull

Just returned from Duluth/Superior. My wife and I did not see the Ivory Gull Sunday, nor did we talk to anyone who had that day. We did go over and see the Gyrfalcon on Connors Point. Jeremy Powers -Original Message- From: Minnesota Birds [mailto:MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Jim

[mou-net] Northern Shrike (Scenic 61 / Duluth)

I saw a Northern Shrike while driving home from church this morning, and then relocated the bird in the exact same stretch of Scenic 61 north of the Lakewood Pumping Station at 4 pm. Good chance the bird will be there Monday morning. Photos and directions on my blog at

Re: [mou-net] Ivory Gull apparently gone

Concur. My post appearing today was actually sent on Sat morning at 9am shortly after seeing it then. (Very confusing). Apologies for any confusion. Unfortunately I think all my posts are getting delayed. As I type this, the time is 5:03pm, Sunday. Carl Haynie Sammamish, WA On Sunday,
