Apparently I was wrong about the REPRO command, because I'm still not getting my own message copied. Either something isn't working right at the listserv or we need another command. Anyone else have an idea? Floor Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archive

[mou-net] Fighting loons

A few days ago I was at Moose Lake State Park in Carlton County and saw three Common Loons swimming together. Suddenly one loon grabbed another by the throat and seemed to try to pull it under water repeatedly. The second loon was unable to shake the attacker from its throat and had its head for

[mou-net] Phoebe Snetsinger

This may be of some interest to birders from any state: today's Google Doodle (the often animated logo that appears when you go to www.google.com) is about Phoebe Snetsinger, who started serious birding at age 50, when she was diagnosed with melanoma, and who had seen 8,398 species of birds when sh

[mou-net] Long-tailed ducks present

I just found the ducks swimming and diving with a raft of golden-eyes in Medicine Lake. I observed them from Medicine Lake boulevard, at the intersection with 26th avenue North. Water is calm, no waves. Oops, golden eyes just flew off but long tailed are still here. Florinus Kooyman Sent from

Re: [mou-net] RFI Seward, Alaska pelagic trips

people on board will not be birders, so by all means tell the captain that you are a birder and ask him to point out the birds that he sees. The captain on my trip was an amazing source of information on the birds and wildlife. Spend the money, you will not regret it. Florinus Kooyman On Sun, Jul

Re: [mou-net] Brambling?

That appears to be an error. The submitter of that checklist entered Callaway instead of Callaway township, which moved the location from Becker to Ramsey county. Florinus Kooyman On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 11:20 AM Jeffrey Seeger < jeffrey.see...@westernalum.org> wrote: > Is there a bra

Re: [mou-net] Barn Owl

This bird is out of its seasonal range and needs its time and energy to hunt and survive. Having dozens or more birders harass it is not going to help it do so. This location should not be shared. Florinus Kooyman On Sat, Jan 11, 2020 at 5:08 PM Anthony Hertzel wrote: > A barn owl has b
