I arrived on Cargo Road around 10:15 this morning. My dad and I looked =
around the fences, but not a single Snowy Owl. However, we did find a =
male American Kestrel, first mistaken for a Rock Dove. It flew behind us =
near the FedEx building and perched on the barbed wire on the opposite =
side. We got about 35 feet away from him. What a little beauty! We went =
to the north end of Lake of the Isles, where a male Wild Turkey darted =
in front of our path and flew across to the island. We also saw a =
probable female Sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawk. I would appreciate =
giving details to those who could help me identify it. Thank you.

  Subject: [mou] Horned Grebe at Black Dog



  Yesterday, 12/27/05, I photographed a basic Horned Grebe at the far =
east end of the west lake at Black Dog. This is the general location =
where an Eared Grebe has been reported sporadically since Dec. 7th. My =
digiscoped photos clearly show, among other key features, a white tip to =
the bill, typical of Horned and not Eared Grebe. Because the presence of =
Eared Grebe in winter is very rare in Minnesota, I encourage observers =
to submit a Request for Documentation to MOURC.=20
