[mou] Sherburne-Red-Shouldered

[Dennis/Barbara Martin]

Came across a adult Red-shouldered Hawk in Sherburne County yesterday.  It
was hunting with a kingfisher over an open water marsh just west of the
intersection of Cty Rds 1 and 87.  This seems a bit far north for a
wintering bird, although they do nest in the area.

Although maybe it is a sign of the times as the Ann Lake Campground area
Townsend's Solitaire was harrassing a flicker in its recent normal area
south of 253rd, one mile east of the intersection of Cty Rds 4 and 5.
Flickers are allover this winter.
