Re: [mou-net] Pig's Eye Lake, Ramsey Co

A Maybe that's why I saw about 7 B. Eagles today as I drove from Columbus to White Bear Lk, and back again (may have seen same ones 2x). Only 2-3 of those are resident birds. They are on the move!! Holly Peirson Columbus, SE Anoka Co. -Original Message- From: Minnesota

Re: [mou-net] Best Approach to birding Carlos Avery?

Take water and a snack. A full tank of gas. Your cell phone. Scope. Bird Guide. Frog sounds guide. Hat. Rain or wind gear. Shovel. Later in the season, bug repellent is a good idea. Holly Peirson Columbus, SE Anoka Co. -Original Message- From: Minnesota Birds [mailto:MOU-

[mou-net] Pair of Eagles - Sittin' in a tree...

[mou-net] Sandhill Cranes in E Anoka/W Washington Counties

nice as today, we won't be out on it much longer! Also, many small batches of ducks and geese went over. For me, Sandhill Cranes are the birds that, as Aldo Leopold said so well: "make the spring." Holly Peirson Columbus, SE Anoka Co. Join or Leave mou-net: http://list

[mou-net] Washington Co. Monday PM

On a ramble in the countryside (son's driving exercise) of Washington Co., just east of Manning Trail on Hwy 97, saw a flock of 20-30 Snow Buntings!! The only other birds seen were a lot of crows and one raptor, too far in distance to tell species. Holly Join or Leave mou-net:

Re: [mou-net] Stickney Road, Sax Zim

want the birds to be safe, too. Winter provides enough of a hardship for them. Today I've been watching the Barred Owl hunt near/under my feeders, where the vole tunnels are slowly being exposed due to snow melt. Holly Peirson Columbus, Anoka Co. -Original Message- From: Minnesota

Re: [mou-net] Deer Problems

g loved it She ate the plant I did the experiment on, so I figured the deer would, too. Returned it and got the pellets. Had to keep the remains of that plant out of her reach for over a month until the spray wore off. Holly Peirson Columbus, Anoka Co. Now, about those voles... My owl famili

Re: [mou-net] cleaning hummingbird feeders

Or you could use the old restaurant coffee pot cleaning method: put a little shaved or small pieces of ice in, along with some lemon juice, swirl it around a few times and then rinse with water. Works like a charm on cooked on coffee and other grime at the bottoms of jars. Holly Peirson Columbus

Re: [mou-net] RFI: Carlos Avery cranes

t place to see them is not on the south side of Hwy 18, but just to the WNW of or around Pool 4, where they did some prescribed burning a few years ago. At least, that is where I recently saw 20-30, feeding in the wet marsh there. That's the long answer... Holly Peirson Col
