Wheeler is probably best known for A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors and more recently Raptors of Eastern North America and Raptors of Western North America. This will be one of the few times to get your books autographed--and if you don't have A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors you should! I know The Raptor Center will have some of his books on hand, but it might be a good idea to put one on hold to ensure you get a copy. You can contact Vivian Neiger at trcvol@umn.edu. Parking and the event itself is free, All Seasons Wild Bird Store is sponsoring Wheeler's appearance. And what better time to meet him than early in the hawk watching season? You can bone up on birds before you go to Hawk Ridge. This is a rare opportunity to meet a true raptor expert and legend. -- Sharon Stiteler Minneapolis, MN www.birdchick.com From psvingen@d.umn.edu Sun Sep 4 02:50:40 2005 From: psvingen@d.umn.edu (Peder Svingen) Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2005 20:50:40 -0500 Subject: [mou] Duluth update Message-ID: <4C10B701-1CE6-11DA-9A8C-000D93521292@d.umn.edu> The adult basic-plumaged Little Gull was seen again on Lake Superior from Lafayette Square (31st Street at Minnesota Avenue) on Park Point at about 5:15 PM.

Over the last two days I've observed a large flycatcher at Pioneer Park in Princeton, MN. The bird is around eight inches or so in size, yellow wash on the stomach (which extends quite high on the breast), some white on the tertial edges. It has a slight crest (not pronounced), but (here's the rub) no apparent rufous on either the tail or wings. The head is quite dark. In many ways it resembles Sibley's juvenile Great Crested, but without the rufous coloring. GC's do nest within the park (have had numbers from 2-7 throughout the summer in this small park). Speaking very subjectively, it's "jizz" is doesn't seem quite right for a GC - but I'm not a flycatcher expert by any means. Am I just looking at an unusual juvenile, or...? Seems to me to be a bit early for a western wanderer (Dusky similarities not withstanding). Thanks!

Speakers are being lined up from around the world, to participate in this symposium titled "Owls on the move - When, Where and Why: A Symposium on Northern Owls". The event will be hosted by the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory and the Natural Resources Research Institute, University of Minnesota, Duluth. Plans are to kick it off Friday evening, 3/16/06; have seminars and speakers Saturday, 3/17/05; with area field trips planned for Sunday, 3/18/06. Minnesota Audubon, the MOU, the Minnesota DNR, the USDA Forest Service, the Raptor Center, and Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center all support and are involved in planning this event. The plan is to address three components of Northern Owl irruption: the biological, management, and socio-economic aspects. I want to get the word out now on this to share my excitement about it and for birders everywhere to get a chance to plan for it. As plans firm up and speakers and venues are confirmed, there will be other announcements shared.

Peder also found a juvenile SABINE'S GULL at the same location on the 4th, and a juvenile RED KNOT on the 3rd on the lakeside of Park Point southeast of the airport. This may be the same individual found by Ryan Brady on August 26th. BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, SANDERLINGS, BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, and two BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS were also seen by several observers on Park Point over the weekend. On September 3rd Janet Riegle found AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVERS, STILT SANDPIPER, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, and SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS at 40th Avenue West, in the wetlands between the railroad tracks and the freeway. A female ORCHARD ORIOLE was reported by Rebecca George on the morning of the 6th at the corner of 47th Avenue East and Tioga Street in East Duluth. HORNED GREBES were found at Knife River on the 6th, and Peder Svingen saw a RED-NECKED GREBE at Park Point and the first AMERICAN PIPITS of the season on the 3rd. An AMERICAN COOT was seen on Lake Superior on the 7th by Tom Auer. Two GREAT EGRETS are being seen daily at the Two Harbors golf course ponds, where one had been seen since August 29th. A separate individual was seen this morning flying past Hawk Ridge in Duluth. Two SWAINSON'S HAWKS were seen at Hawk Ridge on the 6th and SANDHILL CRANES flew by the Ridge on the 3rd and the 7th. A record-high 271 passerines were banded on the 7th at the banding station, taking this fall's total over last fall's, with nearly two months left in the banding season. Also on the 7th, hundreds of dead songbirds were found by boaters, fishermen and DNR personnel on Lake Superior between the Brule River and Grand Marais in Cook County. The birds were found floating among leaves, branches and other debris about a quarter to half mile from shore. The cause is not known, but it may have been due to a localized weather event. Anyone who might have additional information from the area can call the Duluth RBA or post the information to MOU-net. The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, September 15th. The telephone number of the Duluth Rare Bird Alert is 218-834-2858. Information about bird sightings may be left following the recorded message. The Duluth Birding Report is sponsored and funded by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU) as a service to its members.

Wheeler is probably best known for A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors and more recently Raptors of Eastern North America and Raptors of Western North America. This will be one of the few times to get your books autographed--and if you don't have A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors you should! I know The Raptor Center will have some of his books on hand, but it might be a good idea to put one on hold to ensure you get a copy. You can contact Vivian Neiger at trcvol@umn.edu. Parking and the event itself is free, All Seasons Wild Bird Store is sponsoring Wheeler's appearance. And what better time to meet him than early in the hawk watching season? You can bone up on birds before you go to Hawk Ridge. This is a rare opportunity to meet a true raptor expert and legend. I met him last year and he really is a cool guy. -- Sharon Stiteler Minneapolis, MN www.birdchick.com From dlpwaters@charter.net Thu Sep 8 16:36:04 2005 From: dlpwaters@charter.net (Debbie Waters) Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2005 10:36:04 -0500 Subject: [mou] Owl Symposium in Duluth next March!

There will be a Northern Owl symposium held in Duluth on March 16-18, 2006. Speakers are being lined up from around the world, to participate in this symposium titled "Owls on the move - When, Where and Why: A Symposium on Northern Owls". The event will be hosted by the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory and the Natural Resources Research Institute, University of Minnesota, Duluth. Plans are to kick it off Friday evening, 3/16/06; have seminars and speakers Saturday, 3/17/05; with area field trips planned for Sunday, 3/18/06. Minnesota Audubon, the MOU, the Minnesota DNR, the USDA Forest Service, the Raptor Center, and Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center all support and are involved in planning this event. The plan is to address three components of Northern Owl irruption: the biological, management, and socio-economic aspects. I want to get the word out now on this to share my excitement about it and for birders everywhere to get a chance to plan for it. As plans firm up and speakers and venues are confirmed, there will be other announcements shared. Please feel free to share this with other organizations and people you feel may share an interest in it. If you wish to be involved, there will be opportunities, I will keep in touch. Good Birding.

Robbye Johnson called this afternoon. She was able to confirm today the Laughing Gull she thought she had seen on Monday. Then another birder indicated he had the Little Gull and a first year Sabine's Gull on the bay this morning. Yesterday several MN birders had at the Superior/Duluth harbor entrance 2 Parasitic Jaegers and another Sabine's Gull. Sooooo the activity is getting hot on Wisconsin Point. Here is hoping it continues through the WSO weekend which is two weeks from now. On another note, the Solon Springs Green Violet-ear that was coming to a feeder there, was last seen a week ago today. I have not heard of any sightings since then. It is interesting that the Spring Green bird appeared on Sunday. One wonders, but we will probably never know??!!!!

The lackluster migration prevented us from amassing any astounding totals, but we put 59 species on the board, including 4 American White Pelicans and a Philadelphia Vireo. Weather conditions (strong winds off the lake) prevented discovering waves of migrants at the usual traps along the Northshore. Nonetheless, the day was quite enjoyable. We spent some time in the late afternoon on Park Point hoping for one of the multitude of reported rarities to soar by. None ever did. The next MOU trip is October 15-16 and will tour up the North Shore to Grand Marais, where we will overnight in Grand Marais on Saturday, then returning on Sunday. I'll send out an email two weeks ahead of time with more details and information, but if you'd like to sign up now, feel free to drop me an email. Good Birding!

It was a harsh, moderately deep-pitched, rattle-type call note that lasted for just about one second. Something like, "khrraaaak". It reminded me somewhat of a cuckoo sp., or wren sp. call note, but instead of individual chatter notes strung togerther, this was one, single note. The bird repeated this note three times with about a 1-2 second pause in between each call. After about 30 seconds it made the same call - again three times with 1-2 second pause between. After about 1-2 minutes it made the three calls again, then either moved on or started to sleep. I live in Marshall, MN on the northwest end of town. We get a lot of birds flying overhead - perhaps because all the green-space from the airport is less than 1 mile away - and have the only yard in our new development with thick shrubs and running water. No idea what this bugger is, so if anyone can provide some direction that would be great. Thanks. Roger Schroeder p.s. Anyone interested in helping serve on the MOU Board?

Subject: [mou] Sportsmen's Show in St Paul wants to have a Birding Room

In my capacity as President of the MOU I met with members of the DNR,
Mark Martell and the group that puts on the Sportsmen's show each year.
It is to be held Tuesday March 28 to Sunday, April 2.
The group wanted us to sponsor a room promoting and offering info on
birding and birds in MN. Minnesota Audubon and I thought it was
inappropriate for our organizations to sponsor a boat show, so that fell
off the table, but then the DNR stepped forward and offered to sponsor
it. This presents an interesting option for our members. If anyone
wishes to volunteer to staff this booth and answer questions (a la State
Fair Booth), they would get free admittance to the show that day ($9.00
value). The Mou would be welcome to distribute any materials we have and
they are also interested in speakers on Bird topics to do seminars.
I think this is a great opportunity for our members who enjoy hunting
and boating to get in to the show free and for others who enjoy manning
these functions to do so, without any outlay of funds or official
endorsement from the MOU. We would be allowed to sign people up if we
wish for the Mou and we may have internet connectivity which would give
us a chance to showcase our webpage and our seasonal reporting functions
that are in use now. I will serve as the organizing representative for
the MOU (unless someone else wants it), and I would like to issue an
open call for interested people on MOU net and MN Bird so I could keep
interested people in the queue to be a part of this.
Carrol Henderson feels that if this shows promise, there
may be a future for a "Birding" show, which we could definitely align
with.
This is the first step towards that opportunity and I feel it is
vital we are involved in some way. Please contact me if you have any
questions or if you want to be involved in some way, either in the
planning or the staffing of the event.

The highest raptor count of the season so far occurred at Hawk Ridge on the 14th. More than 13,700 raptors were seen, including 12,560 BROAD-WINGED HAWKS. Most of these were immature birds, so the main movement of adult Broad-wings is probably yet to come. The 13th saw another big push of landbirds along the North Shore, with 256 passerines banded at Hawk Ridge and more than 3,000 warblers seen flying past the overlook. A WOOD THRUSH was banded at the Ridge on the 12th. Two PARASITIC JAEGERS and a possible LONG-TAILED JAEGER were found by Mike Hendrickson and Tom Auer on September 9th on Park Point near the Sky Harbor Airport. Three juvenile SABINE'S GULLS were found here on the 8th by Bill Litkey. The juvenile RED KNOT was relocated in the same area on the 11th by Scott Meyer and Doug Keiser. Lars Benson saw a flock of more than 50 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS flying over downtown Duluth on the 8th, and two were seen at Hawk Ridge on the 11th. A very early BLACK SCOTER was reported on the 12th from Five-Mile Rock northeast of Grand Marais by Denny and Barb Martin. A LAPLAND LONGSPUR was seen in Two Harbors on the 9th. Two GREAT EGRETS are still being seen at the Two Harbors golf course ponds, mainly along 4th Street, a half mile north of Highway 61. Two BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS were found by Doug Buri on the breakwall at Agate Bay in Two Harbors on the 8th. On September 14th, Janet Riegle found a juvenile LECONTE'S SPARROW in a wet grassy area behind Bayfront Park in downtown Duluth. One was also seen at the Beaver Bay sewage ponds on the 13th, as well as a few RUSTY BLACKBIRDS. Also on the 13th, Jan Green reported HARRIS'S SPARROW and WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW from Old North Shore Drive. The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, September 22nd. The telephone number of the Duluth Rare Bird Alert is 218-834-2858. Information about bird sightings may be left following the recorded message.

You may also hear this report by calling (218) 847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888. We are sliding peacefully into fall in the northwest, with mild temperatures, and mostly sunny days. Leaves are just beginning to show the beautiful color we look for in the autumn woods. Migration seems to be progressing but some species seem to have overflown the area, especially shorebirds , large congregations of which are hard to find in the northwest this year. In Polk County, Shelley Steva and I visited the Melo Impoundment in the northern part of the county on September 11. There we found very few shorebirds in and near the few pools remaining. In all there were KILLDEER, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, and WILSON'S SNIPE- all in ones and twos. Also there were six GREAT EGRETS, and a BALD EAGLE. Elsewhere in the county , we saw a SWAINSON'S HAWK. Bruce Flaig reported that the first DARK-EYED JUNCO of the fall appeared on September 15 in southern Polk County. Along the old Pembina Trail in Pennington County, we saw a MERLIN, BARN SWALLOWS, and at least eight EASTERN BLUEBIRDS on Sunday, September 11. Gary Tischer reported that about 35 GREAT EGRETS can be found at Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge this week. About 200 SANDHILL CRANES are gathering at Northwest Pool on the refuge and another 100 or so are on the east side; more can be seen to the northwest of the refuge in farm fields. Hawks are beginning to show up in migration with the majority of them now being RED-TAILED HAWKS, although at least one ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK has been seen.=20 Pat Rice, Beltrami County, reported that the CAROLINA WREN was still in their yard as of September 11. >From Kittson County, Larry Wilebski reported GREAT EGRET, GREAT BLUE HERON, 25 WHITE PELICANS, three TURKEY VULTURES, and four GREATER YELLOWLEGS at his wildlife area north of Lancaster near the Canadian border. Gretchen Mehmel, reporting from Lake of the Woods County, saw a GREAT GRAY OWL along the Roosevelt Forest Road 1 mile north of the Norris Fire Tower on September 10, where on the 9th, she had seen a SPRUCE GROUSE not more than 1/2 mile away. Thanks to Larry Wilebski, Gretchen Mehmel, Bruce Flaig, Gary Tischer, and Pat Rice for their reports. Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than Thursday each week, at ajjoppru@wiktel.com OR call the Detroit Lakes Chamber's toll free number: 1-800-542-3992. Detroit Lakes area birders please call 847-9202. Please include the county where the sighting took place. When reporting by email please put "NW Bird Report" in the subject line of your message.

The bird had no yellow coloration and had the bold white eyeglasses of the Solitary Vireo complex. It was associating with at least one Blue-headed Vireo with which it contrasted significantly. It was quite active and chased the other Vireo. The bird was located in the oak savannah habitat south of the Jabs Farm. The bird was in the area where there are large piles of buckthorn brush. If you go to Louisville Swamp, do not park in the regular parking lot. Renaissance Faire traffic will interfere with any attempt to exit to Hwy 169 and besides the causeway to the farm is under water and impassible. Insead continue south on Hwy 169 to the second right turn (not counting driveways) and turn west on Bluff Drive go to the T, turn right and park before the private property. You can then enter the refuge by continuing down the road on foot and turning left between the house and the barn, Countinue down the road until after the second bridge turning right at the second trail.

They are being reseeded and those fields are bare of birds, as were the ones with sod still intact. There is one large field that has been disked in preparation for final grading and seeding, along highway 66 (or 200th St/Ave??). It looked empty, but a closer look revealed 20 or so American golden plovers, one buff-breasted sandpiper. and the ubiquitous killdeer. There were probably other birds out there as well, but all were lying down taking an afternoon snooze. After this field gets graded and seeded it might be tough to find birds here.

Anyone care to comment? This also is a strong endorsement for Cornell's eBird data project, which deserves everyone's attention, Deep Lister or not. Jim Williams Wayzata Begin forwarded message: From: Rob Fergus Date: September 19, 2005 10:29:30 AM CDT To: Conservationthroughbirding@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Conservationthroughbirding] Deep Twitching Reply-To: Conservationthroughbirding@yahoogroups.com Last week, Sheri Williamson and I slipped out of an Arizona Audubon meeting for a couple hours so I could go see my first White-eared Hummingbird at Beatty's Guest Ranch near Sierra Vista. While discussing stereotypical bird listers that don't care about conservation (we both emphatically denied being such crass listers), Sheri mentioned that what we needed was some new concept of Deep Twitching...like Deep Ecology, something that gave more conservation substance to our love of chasing after new birds. This past week I've thought alot about Deep Twitching, and maybe something like Deep Listing, or even Deep Birding. Towards that end, I propose an initial rule for Deep Twitching: Only birds reported to a larger citizen science bird conservation project can be counted. That goes for life birds, state birds, county birds, yard birds...whatever. They only count if they are entered into a bigger data set that can help guide conservation planning. If you just write them in your book, the birds don't count. And the good news is that with the brand new release of eBird 2, Audubon and Cornell Lab of Ornithology have just made it easier than ever to Deep List. You can now keep track of your Life, State, County, and Yard (or any other location) lists online at eBird. Just go to eBird.org enter in your location, click a couple boxes, and in less time than it takes to read this message, you can report all the birds you've seen so far this morning. The new, improved eBird 2 lets you see all your sightings, all your lists, as well as maps of everyone else's sightings. By reporting all your sightings here, your data isn't lost in your notebooks, it goes towards helping chart the distribution and abundance of the birds in your yard, county, state, and the whole country... ..which makes your sightings eligible for Deep Listing! And here are some great ways to encourage Deep Listing with eBird: --Get backyard birders to enter their backyard sightings. --Get nature centers or refuges to keep their sightings online --Have all competitive state, county, or ABA listers submit their lists --Have a contest to see who in your Audubon chapter or birding club can submit the most lists in a year...the most sightings...visit the most places in your area, etc. --See how many of your club members can submit the most historical sightings from their old notebooks Use your creativity. Get folks fired up. You don't have to have an ABA list of 800+ to be the best Deep Lister. But you do have to enter your bird sightings. Check out the new eBird 2. Its fantastic. And can be a great tool for your local bird conservation efforts. What if everyone in your local area regularly reported to eBird the birds in their backyard? The interesting birds they see on the way to work? All the birds they see at the local state or city park? You could then use eBird to generate maps of bird distribution in your area...and seasonal abundance checklists, or... What if when the next Big Real Estate Development comes to your community, and you want to do something about it--and you actually have real data on local bird abundance and distribution from eBird to back you up in your attempts to influence a zoning board, county board of supervisors, developer, etc. Let me be the first to take the Deep Twitching pledge... I will only count bird sightings that are entered into eBird or some other citizen science database! While that means that my ABA list has just dropped down to 206 species and my Texas list has only 1 (shameful!!) species (as of this morning)...its just a matter of time before I get my old sightings entered into eBird so my Deep Birding lists will grow. Deep Twitching...more than just an obsession! Rob Fergus Sellersville, PA birdchaser.blogspot.com ------------------------ Yahoo!

A quick scan with my scope from the observation deck, and there was a 2nd winter Lesser Black-backed Gull among the multitudes. Perhaps the same bird that's been seen off and on since Spring? I was able to share the observation with George Greer (sp?), a visiting birder from Eugene, Oregon.

Last week, Sheri Williamson and I slipped out of an Arizona Aud= ubon meeting for
a couple hours so I could go see my first White-eared Hummingbird at Be= atty's
Guest Ranch near Sierra Vista.  While discussing stereo= typical bird listers
that don't care about conservation (we both emphati= cally denied being such
crass listers), Sheri mentioned that what we needed was some new concep= t of
Deep Twitching...like Deep Ecology, something that gave more conser= vation
substance to our love of chasing after new birds.

This pas= t week I've thought alot about Deep Twitching, and maybe something like
Deep Listing, or even Deep Birding.  Towards that end, I prop= ose an initial rule for Deep Twitching:

Only birds reported to a lar= ger citizen science bird conservation project can be counted.

That g= oes for life birds, state birds, county birds, yard birds...whatever.
They only count if they are entered into a bigger data set that can hel= p guide
conservation planning.  If you just write them in your= book, the birds don't count.

And the good news is that with the bra= nd new release of eBird 2, Audubon and
Cornell Lab of Ornithology have just made it easier than ever to Deep L= ist.
You can now keep track of your Life, State, County, and Yard (or an= y other
location) lists online at eBird.  Just go to eBird.org=

enter in your location, click a couple boxes, and in less time than it take= s to
read this message, you can report all the birds you've seen so far = this morning.

The new, improved eBird 2 lets you see all your sighti= ngs, all your lists, as
well as maps of everyone else's sightings.  By reporting all = your sightings
here, your data isn't lost in your notebooks, it goes tow= ards helping chart the
distribution and abundance of the birds in your y= ard, county, state, and the
whole country.....which makes your sightings eligible for Deep Listing!=

And here are some great ways to encourage Deep Listing with eBird:<= br>
--Get backyard birders to enter their backyard sightings.
--Get n= ature centers or refuges to keep their sightings online
--Have all competitive state, county, or ABA listers submit their lists=
--Have a contest to see who in your Audubon chapter or birding club can= submit
the most lists in a year...the most sightings...visit the most p= laces in your area, etc.
--See how many of your club members can submit the most historical sigh= tings
from their old notebooks

Use your creativity.  Ge= t folks fired up.  You don't have to have an ABA list of
800+ = to be the best Deep Lister.  But you do have to enter your bird s= ightings.

Check out the new eBird 2.  Its fantastic.  And= can be a great tool for your
local bird conservation efforts.

Wh= at if everyone in your local area regularly reported to eBird the birds in<= br>their backyard?  The interesting birds they see on the way to = work?
All the birds they see at the local state or city park?  You = could then use eBird to
generate maps of bird distribution in your area.= ..and seasonal abundance
checklists, or...

What if when the next = Big Real Estate Development comes to your community, and
you want to do something about it--and you actually have real data on l= ocal
bird abundance and distribution from eBird to back you up in your a= ttempts to
influence a zoning board, county board of supervisors, develo= per, etc.

Let me be the first to take the Deep Twitching pledge... I will only count bird sightings that are entered into eBird or some other citizen science database!

While that means that my ABA list has just dropped= down to 206 species and my
Texas list has only 1 (shameful!!) species (as of this morning)...its just a matter of time before I get my old sightings entered into eBird so my Deep Birding lists will grow.

Deep Twitching...more than just an obs= ession!

Was hoping last year's cackling goose would oblige us again. Found two cacklers (and there may be more). If you go to look for them, be aware the cemetary does close its gates towards sunset or earlier. Check time at the gate. The two birds stuck close to each other. There are at least three subspecies of the Canada goose here and some are toward the small size, but these two stood out dramatically, with their smaller size and short stubby bills. The flock will wander all over the cemetery, and at times visit Lake Calhoun, so it may take some scouting to find them. I did not do a thorough scan, so there may be other cackling geese present, but at least there are two. Lakewood Cemetery is at 36th street and Hennepin Ave. S. in Uptown Minneapolis.

However, punishment by design is simply meant to halt aberant behavior, not correct it. I believe a critical missing component is the imposition of some mandatory hands-on education to retrain their hearts and minds. It was the absence of a healthy moral conscience that allowed them to make the irresponsible decisions in the first place. Somehow, these individuals must be taught to respect the value of life God has placed under the hands of humanity to care for and nuture. The absence of those values means nothing is there to countermand future antisocial impulses, and it is highly likely they will become repeat offenders.

Users might like to try the new version, eBird2, that has a host of new features as Rob described. It's much more engaging now, with all kinds of games to encourage birders to play while supplying data for conservation use. In addition, there are a number of equivalents around the world that will do similar things to eBird. You can find those at the BirdLife International site called www.worldbirds.org There's a world map to click on and it will take you to the equivalent software in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Turkey and other places. If you click on the map for the US, Canada or Mexico it will take you to eBird (or aVer Aves). The vision is to "to create a network of Internet systems that provides a platform for the collection, storage and retrieval of bird observations worldwide". So Dave, you can enter your Kenya data to http://www.worldbirds.org/kenya/Main.php and your British sightings to http://www.bto.org/birdtrack/ if you have the time . . . My understanding is that the tech guys at Cornell are working on providing a simple way to transfer data from personal list-keeping software into eBird so that all those data can be added to the central database. Sweet. The next challenge will be to get these systems to talk to each other seamlessly so that everyone can make use of the collective data set.

Wind speeds: 8-14mph Winds from S, SW,SE Cloud cover: None Flight Direction: SW, S Height of flight: Beyond unaided vision, mostly. Bar. Pressure: 30.13 up to 30.14 by noon, then falling to 30.10 by 3PM. (weather bureau at LaCrosse) Numbers were overwhelming for a solo observer: I am sure I undercounted and missed some IDs. Kettles of BWHAs included 300 & 400 birds. They appeared to the north, streaming in, kettling up, peeling off SW. If I followed these movements and returned to the original kettle site, more birds were streaming to repeat the movement to the SW. On & on. Encores from about 11AM to 1PM. Al Stankewitz of rural Hokah joined me, after most of the action. We hiked up above the Reno quarry (abandoned) about 3:30 PM and observed continued reduced flight of BWHAs, and an immature Peregrine Falcon which flew about 30 feet over us over the quarry. On Shellhorn Rd. (Shellhorn Rd. connects between Hwy 26 & Hillside Rd. On Hwy 26 it starts at the Shellhorn bar) between 9:30AM & 10AM were the usual passerine residents & migrants: E. Phoebe, Tufted Titmouse, Red-brstd. Nuthatch, House Wren (2), Ruby-crnd. Kinglet, Gray Catbird (2), Yellow-thrtd. Vireo, Red-eyed V., Chestnut-sided Wa., Magnolia Wa., Black & white Wa., Am. Redstart, Rose-brstd. Grosbeak, E. Towhee, White-thrtd. Sp. Hillside Rd. runs north from Reno/Hwy 26 at the south to Co. Rd. 3 at the west side of Brownsville.

All the others only got the fine. I hardly feel that justice was served. Is it great that they were caught and fined, definitely. Was it enough, in my opinion, NO. I would like to see hunting privileges suspended for all people caught shooting protected animals and birds and in the case of the guy who shot 8, I would have liked 15 days in jail, lifetime suspension of hunting privileges and the fine.

Birds who have existed at critical population levels for years may get cleaned out, namely the Whooping Cranes and Atwater Prairie Chickens. A 25 foot tidal surge here would meet with no resistance. Brazos Bend has great wetlands, where I saw my first Masked Duck and a ton of Black-bellied Tree Ducks; I imagine a tidal surge would inundate this wooded swamp as well. With the human tragedy looming, perhaps some would find it trivial to think of the natural history risks that arise, but I love these places and the creatures that haunt them and I fear for their survival. Whit-tailed Hawks and the hundred thousand or so shorebirds on the Bolivar Flats just north of Houston are also at risk. The last sighting of the Eskimo Curlew was in a small wetland on Galveston, this is going to cause some real damage to some of the best coastal birding on the planet.

Fortunately, the largest chemical manufacturing plants are fairly well designed to prevent hurricane damage and leaks. But there are a great many refineries and offshore oil rigs--a leak or anything that harms water quality enough to impact blue crabs will affect Whooping Crane winter survival--the blue crab numbers in winter are highly correlated with Whooping Crane breeding survival the following summer.

BROAD-WINGED HAWKS still have time left for one last big push. The peak numbers of �broadies� usually occur between September 10 and 25th. The biggest numbers this past week occurred on Sunday the 18th, with 10,575 birds, 8,879 of which were Broad-winged Hawks. We�re starting to see more adult SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS as the flight transitions from immatures to adults. Right now the flight is about 50/50, but we should see a good push of adults within the next two weeks. � PEREGRINE! Oh, that�s one yell we love to hear, and we�re entering the peak of Peregrine Falcons at Hawk Ridge. Thirteen of these amazing birds were counted on Tuesday! We�re counting them almost every day, and counter Frank Nicoletti saw one early one morning with a HUGE crop�he was amazed that it was able to fly! Days with a light southerly wind are what we call �Peregrine Days�. They apparently enjoy migrating against a light headwind. � This weekend is HAWK WEEKEND! Speakers include Dr. Mark Fuller, a raptor researcher from Idaho, and Al Batt, writer, birder, and humorist. Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory�s second Annual Member Meeting will take place prior to the Saturday evening program, and we�re raking in some wonderful items for our silent auction fundraiser. See our website for details on the event. Registration is available at the door: $17, $14.50 for members, $6 for students.

There is no reason to worry about the Whooping Cranes, however, because they are still up in Canada at this time of year. The first whoopers don't arrive on the Texas coast until mid-October, with the bulk of the population arriving on the wintering grounds by early November. Hurricanes have significant destructive potential, but they also bring much-needed rain to dry areas and help recycle water and nutrients through estuaries and wetlands. Hurricanes may seem bad, but they are not all bad. The Whoopers will be fine. The main problem for the Attwater's Prairie Chickens is and has been for decades, that they have no remaining native habitat. With or without Hurricane Rita, APC is probably doomed. For those who believe in the continued existence of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, however, this might be a good time to say a little prayer for them, because it looks like this storm may wind its way north through the forests of east Texas and western Louisiana and Arkansas. Birds with marginal populations like the APC and the IBWO are particularly vulnerable to the effects of a single destructive storm or other catastrophic event.

Big Lake is about a half hour northwest of Ely on the Echo Trail, and the southeast portion of the lake is 2-3 miles from the boat landing, with no road access.

It was first spotted flying along the river's shoreline when I arrived at the boat launch, but then it immediately headed over to the L. Rebecca area to rest either in the road or in a parking lot. When it occasionally would be flushed by a passing car, it repeatedly settled back down quickly again. When I left around 1:00 it was resting with some Mallards at the edge of L. Rebecca. By it's behavior it would seem to be exhausted, and hence, probably is not going to be in any hurry to leave the area.

Message-ID: Ok, gang: As an old wildlife rehabilitator, I have to give this one shot: this bird is so obviously injured or ill, could someone from the Twin Cities who goes down to see the gull try tossing a sheet or towel over it, then packing it into a box with air holes and bringing it up to the Wildlife Rehab Center in Roseville? Such an act will doubtless be good for that person's karma, which is worth more than several more people viewing an injured, juvenile bird that probably will die without intervention.

Elizabeth and I did see the Sabine's Gull flying just upstream from the Lock and Dam #2 in Hastings. We are not sure about the time, as neither of us had a watch. It was approximately 2 pm. We were standing on the lock observation platform. While watching the Sabine's Gull we observed quick evasive action and soon saw the persuer. It was dark, long, pointed wings and behaved like a Jaeger, and I will call it a Jaeger. We observed numerous dives by the Jaeger on the Sabine's Gull. Other gulls lifted off the locks, but we did not observe the Jaeger move on them. The attack continued and the Sabine's Gull was forced down on the water where the Jaeger continued to attack. The Gull dissapeared from our view for a time, which would happen if it got too close to the lock structure. Continuing to look for the Gull, we again located it in the water above the dam close to where it was forced down. We observed the Gull flailing the water with its wings like it was trying to lift off the water, but was unable to do so. The distance from the platform to the Gull was at least 200 yards. We again lost sight of the Gull and we waited around another 1/2 hour watching, but the Gull was not seen again. It could have been seen from the east side of the river, but we did not try. The Jaeger was not seen again after its attacks on the Gull in the water. With our spotting scope I watched the Jaeger when it was attacking at 20X. I could not see any extensions of central tail feathers. The bird was dark on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. Trailing edge of primaries looked darker. I did not see any large white patches on the undersides of the wings. Dave and Marj Cahlander joined us on the lock platform, but after the Jaeger attack, but did see the Gull on the water. Elizabeth and I drove to 180th Street marsh in Dakota County, no Ibis observed, but a Green Heron, 1 Common Snipe and 1 Rusty Blackbird. -- Tom & Elizabeth Bell on Grey Cloud Island 5868 Pioneer Road South Saint Paul Park MN 55071 651 459-4150 From david@cahlander.com Wed Sep 28 02:08:13 2005 From: david@cahlander.com (David A.

The bird was quite unaffected by the nearby birders, which I have found characteristic of several of the high latitude species. It flew around the parking lot with good agility. the flight pattern reminded me of a barn swallow with its many twists and turns, only a larger, lumbering version. It seemed quite successful in its hunt for food. At the entrance to the parking lot the gull flew by a similar sized juvenile Sharp-shinned lurking in ambush in the trees. The short flurry attack of the hawk was answered with an almost effortless avoidance maneuver by the gull. The gull settled to the pavement about twenty feet from the encounter. After a few seconds, the gull resumed its hunt, flying again right by the waiting hawk, and again easily sidestepping its charge. I thought the gull appeared alert, agile, and in good condition, despite its apparent lack of a set of functioning legs. A beautiful bird.

Several interesting sightings have been reported from the Duluth area. On the 23rd, an adult, winter-plumaged BLACK-HEADED GULL was found by Kim Risen along Park Point in Duluth near the bath house as it flew toward Canal Park. Tom Auer relocated it about 30 minutes later at Lafayette Square of Park Point. An ARCTIC TERN was seen by Michael Hendrickson at this same location, and several jaegers were reported from the Sky Harbor airport. Also in Duluth were reports of BLACK SCOTER, SURF SCOTER, and WHITE-WINGED SCOTER. On the 26th, a clearly injured juvenile SABINE'S GULL was discovered by Bill Litkey at Lake Rebecca in Hastings, Dakota County. It was first seen flying along the shoreline but was also found resting in the parking lot. On the 27th this bird was seen being pursued by an unidentified jaeger and, according to the observers, likely did not survive the attack. On September 23rd, Connie Brunell reported an ibis at the 180th Street marsh in Vermillion, Dakota County and it has been present each day through today. This is the first wetland on the north side of the road east of US Highway 52. Subsequent oservations indicate this bird is not identifiable to species, but is likely a White-faced Ibis. Chris Benson found a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD on the 23rd, along US Highway 52, about a hundred yards south of its junction with Olmsted County Road 7 south, which is a few miles north of the town of Chatfield. The bird flew across the road from west to east and disappeared into some brush. And finally, on September 23rd, there was a belated, second-hand report of a possible juvenile frigatebird on Big Lake south of the Echo Trail in St. Louis County. The bird was reportedly seen near the southeast portion of the lake earlier in the week but not since the 22nd. Big Lake is about a half hour northwest of Ely, though there is no road access. The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, October 6th. - - - Anthony Hertzel -- axhertzel@sihope.com --Apple-Mail-10--667356509 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

We have two seasons at Hawk Ridge: �little� birds and �big� birds, and we�re right in the middle now, where the little birds are trickling off and the big birds are just beginning.� � The �little bird� group includes American Kestrels, Merlins, Sharp-shinned Hawks, Broad-winged Hawks, and Osprey�which are not exactly little birds, but we�re generalizing here! They normally migrate past the Ridge during September, so Osprey are trickling off now, but most of the �little� birds will still be moving through for another week or two. � The BIG birds show up in October�Red-tailed Hawks, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Northern Goshawks, and Rough-legged Hawks. Adult Red-tailed Hawks are starting to move through now, with some dark morphs sighted; Turkey Vultures numbers are high now, with a couple of days during the past week of over 100 birds; and Northern Goshawk numbers are starting to pick up. As I� m writing this at the main overlook, there is an immature goshawk circling overhead�beautiful! � The passerine migration continues to be above average. The total number of passerines banded so far this season is about 5,600 (500 were banded within the past 7 days). The 2003 season total, which is our current record, is 6,800 birds, and at this same point in 2003, the total was 5,569. If things progress at the current place, we�ll have a record year! Check out our website (http://www.hawkridge.org/about/news.html) for more information on the passerine migration, the BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER seen today at the main overlook, the raptor forecast, and pictures of very interesting immature SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS... one with PALE head coloration and one with GREEN EYES.

You may also hear this report by calling (218) 847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888. Migration is picking up speed in the northwest, and the trees are fast reaching peak colors. The next big rain and wind event will bring down most of the leaves. Large flocks of common migrants like robins and flickers are appearing on lawns throughout the area. Thursday, I saw a large kettle of hawks whirling in the sky just west of Digi-key in Thief River Falls. Since I was viewing them through the window without binoculars at some distance, I cannot say what species they were. The CAROLINA WREN that was reported earlier in the month at the feeder of Pat and Cal Rice near Bemidji in Beltrami County is still there as of Thursday, September 29. The bird has now molted into fresh plumage, and looks much better than previously. You can reach Pat @ 218-751-0137 for directions if you wish to see the bird. In Otter Tail County, Dave Sorgen found a pair of TRUMPETER SWANS with two cygnets at Cook's Lake on September 18. Other species seen in the county within the last two weeks include COMMON LOON, TURKEY VULTURE, OSPREY, BELTED KINGFISHER, RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, NORTHERN FLICKER, and RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH. Roland Jordahl reported WILD TURKEY, TURKEY VULTURE, BALD EAGLE, EASTERN PHOEBE, and GRAY CATBIRD at Maplewood State Park on September 27 . He also reported DARK-EYED JUNCO and HARRIS'S SPARROW in his yard near Pelican Rapids. >From Clay County, Ben Fritchman birded at the Moorhead wastewater treatment ponds on September 23 where he found four CACKLING GEESE; at the Sabin wastewater treatment ponds, he located one GREATER SCAUP, REDHEADS, and WILSON'S SNIPE. There was a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE in Glyndon. To look for it go south at the light off US 10 over the tracks, then take the first right, followed by another right at the first corner. Look on the wires here. A Ringed Turtle-dove was also there at the time. Pat Rice reported YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, lots of AMERICAN ROBINS, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, LINCOLN'S SPARROW, WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, and DARK-EYED JUNCO in Beltrami County on September 26. She had a secondhand report of a BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER that was seen by Doug Johnson along Lake Bemidji on September 25.Nathaniel Emery in Polk County on September 28, reported that thousands of AMERICAN COOTS have gathered at the Crookston wastewater treatment ponds. Also there were GADWALL, AMERICAN WIGEON, BLUE-WINGED TEAL, RUDDY DUCK, PIED-BILLED GREBE, EARED GREBE, and GREATER YELLOWLEGS. HARRIS'S SPARROW and DARK-EYED JUNCO were also seen in Polk County. Mike Christopherson reported a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH in Crookston on September 28. On the weekend, in rural Pennington County, I had WOOD DUCK, RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, FOX SPARROW, WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, HARRIS'S SPARROW, and DARK-EYED JUNCO at the feeder; at Greenwood Park in Thief River Falls, I added YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, BLUE-HEADED VIREO, GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, YELLOW WARBLER, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. Shelley Steva reported six warbler species in her yard on September 25. They were TENNESSEE WARBLER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, NASHVILLE WARBLER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, MAGNOLIA WARBLER, and best of all a CONNECTICUT WARBLER. Elsewhere in Pennington County, she saw a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK on September 25. Larry Wilebski in Kittson County, reported that the AMERICAN CROWS are gathering in flocks. He also reported 18 GREAT BLUE HERONS, two GREAT EGRETS, a WILD TURKEY with young, SORA, 34 GREATER YELLOWLEGS, SEDGE WREN, WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW and PINE SISKIN. Thanks to Ben Fritchman, Larry Wilebski, Dave Sorgen, Shelley Steva, Pat Rice, Roland Jordahl, Nathaniel Emery, and Mike Christopherson for their reports. Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than Thursday each week, at ajjoppru@wiktel.com OR call the Detroit Lakes Chamber's toll free number: 1-800-542-3992. Detroit Lakes area birders please call 847-9202. Please include the county where the sighting took place. When reporting by email please put "NW Bird Report" in the subject line of your message.

<20050930120304.7eqnuz5es00wos4o@webmail.frontiernet.net> Ron, Call up the zoo at Oxbow Park and tell them that their Red-tail hawk is in severe need of a beak trim. From the looks of it, by now, it is probably having some difficulty eating. I am a falconer and have had Red-tails for over 30 years, plus I took care of education raptors for 20 years, so my opinion comes from first hand experience.
