Well that’s confusing.
I called the number and the guy who answered said there is NO replacement
program.
He said there was misinformation put out on the internet the last 48 hours.
I quoted to him the statement below and he didn't have much to say other than
repeating that is incorrect.

Lifer Le Conte's sparrow at Hok-Si-La.
Least bittern at 180th St marsh which I haven't seen in many years.
Just lucky to be at the right place at the right time.

Several years ago as a moderately experienced birder, I discovered a
Bell's vireo in Cottage Grove and reported it to mou-net with detailed
directions. I was proud of my new skills that having never seen one
before, I recognized the song and found the bird.
There was no mention of my sighting in
I cannot explain how I was utterly wrong about my report of the Bell's
vireo not being attributed to me and yet my memory of the incident is so
clear. The MOU editor kindly forwarded the RBA reports in question to me
and there was my name, plain as day. I am completely at a loss. Maybe it

To add to the urban raptor stories...
There is a broad-winged hawk nest next to the street in our cul-de-sac
(Britton Ln) in Wayzata. There has been a broadwing in the neighborhood
for a last couple of years but this is the first year I've seen the
nest. I watched some nest building last spring.
This issue keeps coming up over and over every year and I'll bet most of
us are tired of it. New birders keep getting intimated instead of
supported as they should be and seasoned birders keep getting annoyed at
the volume of what they consider trivial junk email and they should be.

A few days ago in the middle of the day, I was startled by the sight of
a barred owl, 15' away at eye level from an upstairs window, sitting on
a branch above my string of bird feeders. This was a couple days after I
skied under the singing great horned owl at French Regional Park. The
owls are
Two night ago whilst cross country skiing, I skied right underneath a
great horned owl behind the visitor center at French Regional Park in
Plymouth. It was dueting with another one. The distant one was singing
the classic version of the song but the one overhead was singing its own

I was outside the party room at the top of the midtown exchange building
(the old concrete Sears tower at Lake and Chicago in south Mpls) and
observed a peregrine falcon at close range.
Does anybody know if there's a nesting pair using this building or if
there is a nest box?

on a related note, my brother has a short life list because he insists
on adding a bird only if he identified it! so
The Lake Byllesby little blue heron was very easy to see last evening
~6:30. It was right next to the road as we drove by. It then flew to the
far end of the pond but it was still close and in the open. We watched
it thrash a huge bullfrog to death and swallow it whole.
