[mou] State Fair

[Steve Weston]

today I volunteered for the MOU booth at the state fair.  It was a lot of 
fun and we had several people who were really interested in birding.  I saw 
almost no birds, a couple of rock pigeons, a couple of common yellow-throats 
at the moose pond, and a chimney swift heard overhead.  The most interesting 
bird was seen as I was leaving.  As I walked out the main gate on Snelling 
Avenue, a Coopers Hawk flew into the tree on Snelling right by gate above 
the throngs of people waiting to cross the street.  I wouldn't be surprised 
it I was the only one of several hundred within a couple of hundred feet who 
saw the hawk.
