Hi all--
Thanks to Owen McMurtrey for posting the Black-backed Woodpecker sighting
from the Carleton Arboretum yesterday and thanks to Gene Bauer for drawing
my attention to Owen's post (I get my MN-bird posts by digest).
Erika and I went out and saw the bird this morning at 9:30 AM (3 November

My sense of Minnesota County boundaries is not yet accurate. Alas, the
Black-backed Woodpecker is in far southern Dakota County, not Goodhue County.

Today at approximately 2:00 PM while in the conifer plantation in Carleton
College's Cowling Arboretum I found a female Black-backed Woodpecker (the
eastern part of the 'Arb' is in Goodhue County). The bird was easily
approached, appeared to have three toes, did not make any vocalizations, and

this morning. It's on the western edge of the conifer trail, just as one
turns north.
December 1st will mark five years of personal birding in the refuge area,
observations (mine & others) since then have included:

I was in St. Paul this morning and decided to stop at Acacia Park Cemetary in
Mendota Heights on my way back home. I was on the road along the southern edge
of the cemetary, and stopped by the old metal electrical tower, and started
pishing loudly to see if any sparrows would come out of the wee

After running the half marathon yesterday, I decided to do a little birding at

The mosquitoes were terrible early but cleared out later. The wind made birding
difficult but overall it was a fun morning.

white pine woods, and I heard a tapping. I thought it might be a Hairy, so I
scanned the trees above but saw nothing. Then I looked down at a large whit
