Wondering if anything interesting is being seen in Prescott/Hastings area of
late. I'm thinking of going searching for the grey partridge and wanted to
take in any other birds of interest while I'm down that way.

to the stoplight. It was kind
enough to fly over my car and land in the grass on the south side fairly close
to the road.

I'm wondering if anyone has observed any gulls at Black Dog Lake of late. I
know there are some hanging out down in Prescott.

I saw someone else post recently inquiring as to whether unusual gulls are
still frequenting Black Dog lake. I am also curious if this is the case as I
am considering a jaunt tomorrow in that direction, weather willing.

First of fall female Purple Finch and White Throated Sparrows at my feeder in
Chaska.? Feeder activity is particularly high today with the recent cold snap.

Do You Yahoo!?
Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection
the
normally expected species of dabbling ducks.? Considering the substantial
numbers, it is possible that something of interest could be out there.? I did
not have my scope with but i did search what I could see.

Struck out on the solitary sandpiper but did see Wilson's Phalarope, least
sandpiper, several lesser yellowlegs, and two caspian terns.? Also, what
plumage were the red-necked grebes that were seen in?
