[mou] Red Crossbill, Nicolett County

I got a taste of northern Minnesota around noon today when I observed a Red
Crossbill flying over campus here at Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter. I first
heard the bird giving frequent call notes in flight and then spotted it flying
overhead. It could have been feeding in the many pine stands on campus. The
hill upon which the campus sits has turned out to be quite an interesting
flyway.
Good birding!
