Hi:
Well once again its time to get people out birding!=20
There are three field trip coming up quickly. The first field trip is =
August 21. This field trip is a one day field trip around the Twin =
Cities area. We will meet at the Black Dog Park & Ride parking lot at =
7:00am. To get there drive south along I-35 over the Minnesota River and =
watch for Cliff Road exit. Take Cliff Road going east for about 1/2 mile =
or less and the parking lot is one your left side. This parking lot over =
looks part of Black Dog lake. We will bird for shorebirds and other =
birds. Last year we birded all the time at Carver County and birded =
Carver Park. We might do the same this year. Who knows if things get =
slow we always look at dragonflies and butterflies!! There is always =
something to do outside.
The next field trip is September 4th. We will meet once again at 7:00am =
at Wood Lake Nature Park parking lot. We will bird around Wood Lake, =
Bass Ponds and Old Cedar Bridge for migrants. Last year the weather =
wasn't the greatest I am holding out that this year this trip will offer =
more passerines!
The last of the three trips is on September 25th in Duluth. We will meet =
at the 40th Avenue West Perkin's Restaurant at 7:00am ( a safe time to =
remember). To get there take I-35 to Duluth and get off on the 40th Ave =
W exit and cross over I-35 and you'll see the restaurant. I am excited =
about this trip because there is a chance to see some casual and hard to =
find birds like jaegers, unusual gulls and maybe a decent flight of =
raptors will be kettling over our heads! We will bird along Park Pt, up =
along the northshore to Two Harbors, and Hawk Ridge of course.=20
After those three trips than there are two more exciting field trips and =
you should register for them now or soon. The first field trip is a =
weekend trip to Grand Marais starting in Duluth. The date is October =
16-17th. We will start in Duluth and stay a night in Grand Marais and =
head back on Sunday to Duluth. On Saturday night we will visit Bill =
Lane's Owl research study in his backyard. Last year we witnessed about =
20+ Saw Whets flying around. Bill gave a shart talk on what he does and =
why. Bill let each participant hold a owl and release it after it was =
banded. So please sign up early as I suspect the trip will fill up fast. =
There will be a small fee to give to Bill for his owl research. I will =
send more information to those who sign up.
The second trip is on November 6-7th. Once again its a weekend field =
trip to grand Marais doing the same thing. The only difference is we =
might see some early signs of winter birds like winter finches.=20
The October trip and November trip to Grand Marais are two of my =
favorites. The reason is because it might give us a chance to find a =
western stray or a eastern stray. Also I love the fall season and who =
cannot deny Sven & Ole's Pizza!!=20
So anyway you are all caught up and please let me know what trips you =
are interested in attending. Just reply back to this message or email me =
