[mou] Goshawk & other metro sightings

[Steve Weston]

A few days ago I kept track of raptor sightings during my wanderings working 
the metro area and only found Red-tailed Hawks plus a Bald Eagle.  The last 
two days have been quite the oposite.  The best sighting today was a Goshawk 
over I-35E and I-94 by downtown St. Paul.  also seen were a Red-shouldered 
Hawk (I-35w near the Minnesota river), a Sharp-shinned Hawk, a Kestrel, 
Red-tailed Hawk, Turkey Vulture (actually yesterday in Eagan), and Bald 
Eagle.

This morning was warm and filled with singing spring birds, including 
Robins, Red-winged Blackbirds, and House Finches.
