[mou-net] Varied Thrush

2015-12-04 Thread Stefanie or Kurt
I have seen a number of inquiries as to whether the Varied Thrush is still being seen at the cemetery in Marine on St. Croix. It was still present yesterday, coming periodically to the crab apple tree which still has a good supply. A bit of patience might be in order-it can take a while betwee

That is unfortunate. I hope that the MOU proceeds with some form of recognition for the town. I think it was extraordinary what they did. Kurt - Original Message - From: Dennis and Barbara Martin To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 12:14:27 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [mou-net] B

Very sorry to hear that. I can identify with your frustration as I have have been slamming my head against a wall with regards to Randolph Industrial Park. All my e-mails to the DNR go unanswered. I finally learned via Tom Klein that an environmental study had been done about a decade ago tha

I was saddened to see that the area immediately to your right as you enter the park has been breached by equipment. This was, in my opinion, the choicest parcel. On my last visit (July 22), it held good numbers of Grasshopper Sparrows as well as a handful of Dickcissel. This evening, I neithe

There was a Glacous Gull feeding among the Ring-billed along the sandbar in the Mississippi across from Xcel Energy near the high bridge. I have no interest in aging gulls-suffice to say this individual appeared very pale (2nd winter?). Seems rather late for this species. Falcons not especial

I'm with Steve and Jon. Steve Weston, Scott Meyer and others report many, many sightings. Birders should be grateful for that rather than begrudge the rare instance where they deem the interest of the bird trumps that of the mob. Kurt Schulzetenberg Ramsey County - Original Message - F

Ventured out to Randolph Industrial Park this past Sunday. All indications are that they plan to develop this site in the coming year. There is new signage that proclaims "coming autumn 2013" and there are numerous large earth-moving machines staging at the roads terminus. This was inevitable

[mou-net] Chipping Sparrow

2012-12-19 Thread Stefanie or Kurt
I saw a Chipping Sparrow today gleaning what it could find alongside of Contract Interiors (120 W Plato Blvd) in St. Paul. There are some ornamental conifers that line the building so perhaps the bird has some fidelity to that location as a roosting site. There are several businesses that fee
