[mou] Tufted Titmouse - Dakota Co.

[Paul Budde]

1. Over many years on this listserve, I've learned to be grateful about
what is posted rather than disappointed in what is not.  Postings of
sightings are a gift to those of us who didn't find the bird in the
first place.

2. From the Twin Cities, go S on I-35 to 263rd, then E to Dodd, then NNE
to 250th, then E to Highview(? There is a sign for Mt. Olivet at the
intersection), then S to 257th, then E to the sign to the retreat
center.  Turn S down the long, Pine-bordered drive, the retreat center
is on your left.  There are three main buildings visible.  From the
extreme SE corner of the parking lot you can see a tall feeder just S of
the middle building.  The titmouse was at this feeder Sunday afternoon
(12/21).

Obviously, this is private property.

Paul

Couple of silly questions:

1) When was this "reported" earlier?  I have checked the archives for
MnBird and Mou-Net and have seen no such report of a Tufted Titmouse in
Dakota County at all.  I read both listservers daily, so I sincerely
doubt i'd have missed such a report of a bird I certainly would have
gone looking for this weekend had I known it was about (This mail showed
up at my work address after I had left work on Friday so I didn't see it
until today).  If it wasn't "reported" publically prior to this, may I
ask why not?

2) Where is the Mt. Olivet Retreat Center?
