[mou] Local Birds

[Laurie Richard]

Hi I am new to the birding community and also new to MN.  I happen to live
in Elk River and love the trees and such which attract the birds here.  I
have not been out and about to do any birding, just backyard feeders and
such. I have an abundance of Blue Jays, Cardinals and Dark Eyed Juncos
(slate colored), Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Nuthatches and Black Capped
Chickadees.  One day about 3 weeks ago I had a Pileated Woodpecker in my
yard and was thrilled to death. It was huge.  And yesterday I had a Northern
Shrike in my yard.  It was here only a few minutes.  Not sure how odd it is
to have one in the city but it was cool to see it.
Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for the interesting reading with this
list server.
