[mou] Birding about the metro

[Steve Weston]

Driving into a parking lot in Eagan this morning I scared up a first year 
Snow Bunting.  Great habitat: asphalt.  I always wonder about a single bird 
that is typically a flocking bird.  Why is it on its own?  It was quite 
skittish.  Will it survive to make it a reunion with its kind?

This morning I saw the Red-breasted Nuthatch at the feeder that has been 
around for about a month. On our lake we had a pair of Wigeons.
