Laura Coble and I found rough-legged hawks in 3 different locations in the vicinity of Northfield today. One cooperative bird perched for at least 20 minutes near the roadside on Hwy. 19, just east of the driveway entry to the boy scout camp, before lifting up and flying east. The second one was perched on a hillside near the intersection of 170th St. and Hall Ave., before taking off and displaying its under-patches. The other two were perched off Co. 14, north of Sogn.
Also in the Northfield area were: a N. shrike, near the intersection of hwy. 3 and co. 20 a kestrel, near the intersection of co. 20 and co. 22 around a dozen red-tail hawks, 6 of them in apparent pairings Linda Whyte ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
