[mou] Metro birding

[Steve Weston]

On Thursday I decided to keep track of the raptors that I saw as I drove 
through the Metro area.  I counted 22 Red-tailed Hawks in 15 different 
cities in the Metro area.  All but two were along the highway.  Almost every 
major intersection had a pair.  I missed several pairs that I have been 
seeing regularly, but were unable to located zipping through at highway 
speed, in traffic, and concentrating on my job.  All but one were perched. 
In addition I found a Bald Eagle on a tree on the shore of the Mississippi.
