Hello:
Well I just added a photo album with all the photos I took on the Oct. =
8th MOU boat trip. These photos are mostly people pictures of those =
that went but not all who were on the boat. I was to busy tossing =
popcorn. I did manage to get a few photos of birders you might heard of. =
Oh, please read the captions of the pictures to get some giggles.
Overall it was a fun boat trip! Is the MOU field trips planning on =
doing this again next year you may ask yourself? YES, in fact I was =
talking to my friend Mark Alt and we talked about organizing 4 boat =
trips on Lake Superior. Tom or I are planning on organizing a Spring =
boat trip and 3 Fall boat trips. We talked to Dan Rau and I expressed =
to him I would like to do one trip on the first weekend in June and 2 in =
September and one in October. Dan teaches at UWS and its hard for him =
to get away in May. So if all everything goes as plan Tom & I would like =
to be on the LLSmith at the height of the Red-Throated Loon migration, =
Terns and towards the end on the Bonaparte's Gulls. ( Little Gulls, =
Artic Terns, Jaeger species are all possible) Tom/I & the MOU will =
announce these trips in January or February. Captain Dan Rau is happy to =
take birders out on the LL Smith and appreciates the business he is =
getting from us birders!=20
Mark Alt, the MOU president had a great time on the LL Smith and he =
feels these boat trips should be a annual event for MOU birders and =
there are talks to get the WSO birders involved as well. =20
I would also be interested to know if there are any good size boats with =
operators willing to take out birders to view gulls, loons and other =
waterfowl on Mille Lacs Lake in Aitkin County. If you know of someone =
please contact me at the email address below.
IF I get appointed as MOU Field Trip Chairman, I would like to organize =
some dragonfly/bird field trips and my co-leader will be John Arthur of =
Minneapolis and I also would like to do a butterfly/bird field trip in =
the Twin Cities area as well. If you or if you know anyone that has =
experience with Minn. butterflies and would like to co-lead with me on a =
summer trip please email at the address below. These trips will =
concentrate both on birds, butterflies and dragonflies. =20
* The reason I say Tom Auer and I are planning MOU boat trips is I do =
not want Tom to leave Minnesota when he graduates this Dec at UMD. I am =
hoping he finds a niche here in Duluth! Tom did such a GREAT job with =
these boat trips and I thank him for doing this. I would like to see Tom =
and I run MOU field trips together in 2006 - ? Wishful thinking on my =
part.
So click on my website address (below) to view the photos. Click on =

as well for some giggles.
