[mou] Tufted Titmouse - Dakota Co.

[Chris Fagyal]

I guess my posting appeared to be a bit harsh and that wasn't
necessarily the intent.  I was just disappointed when I went back
through my archives (which went back about a month) and couldn't find
any reference to this bird.  It was pointed out to me in a private
message that it appeared in the MOU RBA on Nov 27.  I missed it when I
read that report because the bird as not bolded and I must have just
skimmed over it, as often while at work I just skim the bolded names of
birds to see if anything intrigues me enough to make a weekend journey. 
Apologies if my message sounded anything more than quizzical in nature. 
I wasn't trying to berate anyone.  Such is the nature of electronical
communications :)

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.

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?

I stopped by the Mt. Olivet Retreat Center this morning between 11:30
and 
noon.  The Tufted Titmouse, reported earlier, was making regular
visits
to the 
feeder on the So. side of the center building.
