[mou] Location

Sorry! I'm located just west of Beauford, 8 miles south of Mankato, on  
the Big Cobb River. This afternoon we were visited by a Fox Sparrow  
(2nd sighting in the last week) and a beautiful male Purple Finch. 30+  
Goldfinches males gaining color every day. Juncos had disappeared this  
week during nice weather, 15-20 were working the grounds. My(?)  
Redpolls have not appeared all week, but the Flicker which has been a  
regular all winter is still here. What a striking bird. This the first  
time we have had one on a feeder (log and peanut).  Though we see them  
commonly on the ground spring and summer, I don't think I've  
appreciated what a handsome bird they are until seeing one hanging on  
a feeder 15 feet from a window. I get so hung up on numbers and  
species sometimes, I have to stop and just soak in the beauty of the  
individual birds.
