Hello
Its almost the end of the 2003 MOU field trips. I had a lot of fun and =
met a lot of new people. I don't have exact numbers but there were at =
least 125 particapants and of them 30 were new to the MOU organization. =
We saw approximately 230 species for 2003 season.=20
Here's some of the highlights of what we saw:
Red-throated Loon October trip
Thayer's Gulls Febuary trip
Iceland Gull Febuary trip
Glaucous Gull Febuary trip
Great Grey Owl Febuary trip
Saw Whet Owl Febuary trip
Black-backed Woodpecker (7)!! Febuary trip
Boreal Chickadee Febuary trip
Sage Thrasher October trip=20
Kentucky Warbler May trip in the Twin Cities
Hooded Warbler May trip in the Twin Cities
Summer Tanager May trip in the Twin Cities
Great-tailed Grackle April trip=20
I like to Thank my co leader on most of the MOU trips Kim Risen. Kim =
helped me tremendously with keeping the group together, spotting birds =
and explaining the identification of the many birds we spotted. Thank =
you Kim!
Others who co led trips with me were Mark Ochs & Deanne Endrizzi on the =
May trip around the Twin Cities. If it wasn' t for Mark's cell phone we =
would of missed the KY Warbler and the Summer Tanager. Thank You both! =
I also want to thank Chet Meyer who went out and scouted New Germany =
area and places in Dakota Co. looking for shorebirds for the MOU August =
trip. Thank you Chet!
Others like Bob Dunlop who kept me inform on New Germany area as well, =
Kim Eckert and Jim Lind who found a ton of strays and a Mn lifer for me =
prior to our trip and shared locations to find each species! Also a HUGE =
thanks goes to Bill Lane for letting us invade his yard and witness a =
very busy night of Saw Whets moving thru his yard. I think those who =
attended that night are still giggly about what they experience watching =
owls getting banded and holding a owl and letting it fly out of thier =
hands in the night sky. Thanks Bill!
Anyway Thanks to you for attending the MOU Field Trips and making them a =
success! I had a ton of fun and a lot of good times. See you in 2004!
