I was volunteering at the Westwood Hills Nature Center in St Louis Park =
(Hennepin Co.) The local family of Wild Turkeys (juves from this summer) =
decided to watch us at work for a while. Afterwards (4:30-5pm) I decided =
to go birding. I was surprised to find a big raft of 50+ H. Mergansers =
on the North end of the pond (there was even a lonely coot mixed in!) I =
heard many Swamp Sparrows but only saw 2. Lastly, when I was about to =
leave, there wagging his tail was...an E. Pheobe! One of the naturalists =
there saw a screech owl being mobbed by some crows earlier today, but I =
didn't have enough time to go look for it (it was spotted on a spruce.) =
Well, good birding to all (and I hope the weather clears up!)
