At night I cruise and check all the states surrounding Minnesota and see =
whats going on. Well I ran across a report that Great Tits were reported =
to nest successfully in Illinois and thye attempted to nest in WI. I =
also read sometime ago that Bob Russell reported that a Great Tit was =
seen in Grand Marais, MN. When was the year and was it this year?
I heard that some guy or people (?) were releasing a lot of European =
species like Great Tit and some kind of Siskin, forgot the name. By the =
way this Siskin is being reported in Wisconsin as well.
I guess it won't be to long that Great Tits will be establishing a =
population and it will grow and move like the House Finch. Well maybe =
not but hey I seen the pictures of Great Tits and there neat looking =
birds.
Also is it just me but are butterflies wayyy down in numbers this year =
because of the cold weather patterns. I been out netting dragonflies and =
seldom see butterflies around. I so far netted and photo about 10 =
species of dragonflies. I great pics of a 12 spotted skimmer.=20
Also heard thru second hand that breeding bird census work in the NE and =
North Central Minnesota are down. Very little singing in the woods thru =
most of June. For example I noticed there are not as many Red-eye Vireos =
singing and the times I been at Sax Zim its awfully quiet. =20
