You might also look at the Zoom F1 field recorder, one version of which comes with a shotgun microphone capsule. It will not perform as well as the combination Justin suggested, but is a one-piece unit small enough to be carried in the big cargo pocket of my birding vest. It will do a fairly good j

Just spotted a Western Kingbird frequenting the area North of Agate Bay in Two Harbors where the grass has been burned off. Seems to be hanging around the Sewage Plant fence and back and forth along the fences and shrubs in the burned area. Sometimes being chased by Starlings. Have photos to do

It was never relocated, to our knowledge, after our original brief glimpse of it. Given that we have had decent migration conditions the last couple days I would suspect it did not linger, but there is always a chance it remained. At the very least, Scharr's Bluff is a fantastic location this time

Had a Carolina Wren singing this morning 7-8AM from the residential neighborhood known as Friendly Hills in Mendota Heights (Dakota County). The bird was keeping to back yards along Apache St between Decorah Ln and Cheyanne Ln but calling frequently. At the end of that section of Apache St is an o

Dale Trexel and I located a Summer Tanager that seems to turn up at Afton State Park every year at about this time. The bird was at the North end of the Trout Brook Trail loop when we located it by call note, and made the diagnostic "pi-tucky-tuck" repeatedly before switching to the less diagnosti
