Took our Great-Granddaughter, Summer, birding this afternoon. Checked =
out
the Great Blue Heron rookery across the Mississippi river from Evergreen
Cemetery in Brainerd. We counted over 20 birds on their nests. While =
we
watched, one Heron flew by with a big stick in its mouth for its nest.
Summer was delighted with that. A good sized flock of Red-winged =
Blackbirds
and Common Grackles was flying around NE Brainerd. An Eagle flew over =
the
Mississippi River near Brainerd High School. Common and Hooded =
Mergansers
were found in several places on the Mississippi River in the city of
Brainerd. The large flock of Bohemian Waxwings that has been in =
Brainerd
for quite a while was near the Post Office this morning. Ring-billed =
Gulls
are back in town. Found lots of Mourning Doves. A Meadow Lark flew =
across
the road out near the South Long Lake Presbyterian Church in SE Crow =
Wing
County. Saw a number of Kestrels and watched a Northern Harrier try to =
pick
up a small dead animal on St. Mathias Road near old Hwy 371. There was =
a
Golden Eagle sitting out in the Middle of Rice Lake on the north edge of
Brainerd. New birds were everywhere! Carol Crust
