There's been a steady migration of Greater White- fronted Geese while I've been
here today. One skein (flyover) had 5 Snow Geese. Also several

Hi All--
Erika and I banded a Yellow-beliied Sapsucker today as it attempted to
drink from our water feature. Apparently the literature maintains that
sapsuckers get most of their water from their sap wells. A photo of the
bird, a rather handsome male, is posted on my blog:

In spite of (or perhaps because of) the unpleasant weather conditions, our yard
has been swarming with migrants for the last few days, including a male summer
tanager (seen and photographed yesterday by Heidi and new for our yard list;
not present today) and 24 species of warbler (including blac
Hi all,
I spent a couple hours this morning at the Minnesota Valley NWR
visitor's center area (off State Hwy 5 near the MSP airport). It was
hopping with birds, and I found a really nice diversity of migrants,
especially sparrows and warblers. This was all in the area around the

Hi All--
Erika and I do not visit Cannon Falls all that often. Nevertheless,
yesterday, for the second time in several years we observed a Bald Eagle in
one of the large cottonwoods in the city park. We suppose they may well be
regular there. We got close looks and photographs, which I have post
No rarities to report but birds passing through far outnumbered the locals on a
very birdy afternoon walk along the Reservoir Woods path in Roseville.
White-Throated Sparrows were abundant all along the trail, many seen, many more
heard. Golden-Crowned Kinglets were also numerous and close with
Drove along Vadnais Lake and walked at Sucker Creek this morning. There were
lots of migrants, including a number of White-throated Sparrows.

Birding this morning at Westwood Hills Nature Park, in St. Louis Park

On a trip up the Gunflint Trail this morning I heard and saw Winter Wrens at
several stops. Along the Lima Mountain Road I found a Boreal Chickadee and

It was no surprise to see again today a pair of sapsuckers including

last around 10 days in every migration period. However, it was a shock

blackbirds--either very lost
Had a large flock (>20) of Fox Sparrows down along the river and 3 Brown
