And also .... as I walked across the Robert Street bridge this morning to my
office in downtown St. Paul, noticed an adult Bald Eagle standing on the ice
in the Mississippi River. I often see this Eagle soaring and circling in
the sky, usually east of the bridge. But it was striking to see this
majestic raptor, look rather duck-like, standing along the edge of the ice
sheet in the middle of the river!

Subject: [mou] Birds in unusual places
While preparing for a future church service, noted a Ring-necked Pheasant on
the snowy roof of a trailer across the street (more dragging himself through
the snow than walking, we've had quite a bit of the white stuff in central
MN recently). Must admit this was a personal first in 10 years of birding.
This also brought back memories of a Whip-poor-will sleeping on an urban
roof in Madison, WI (also mid-day but in summer) a number of years ago.
Thought this might be an interesting thread - what unusual locations have
you observed/heard birds in over the years?
Good birding to all!
