From sweston2@comcast.net Thu Feb 1 06:53:46 2007 From: sweston2@comcast.net (Steve Weston) Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 00:53:46 -0600 Subject: [mou] February MRVAC Trumpeter Newsletter Message-ID: <006701c745cd$c8760b20$d69b7618@Weston72505> The February MRVAC newsletter has been posted and is now available on-line at: http://home.comcast.net/~mrvac/Feb2007.pdf . To increase availability, we are now uploading it in a format that no longer requires MS Word to view, but we are presently loosing some of the quality of publication. Hopefully we can resolve this. Our next speaker will be John Christian from the US Fish & Wildlife Service talking on "Planes & Cranes: The Story of the Return of the Whooping Crane to Eastern United States" on Thursday 2/22. John Christian, who serves as the co-chair of the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, will chronicle this amazing story beginning with the hatching of the chicks, training by ultralight aircraft and migration odyssey through 7 states to reach the wintering grounds. It is a tale of dedication, vision, determination and hope for the future. This will also be a great program for our younger birding enthusiasts.

Gene Bauer ------------------------------------------ From: Margie Mayfield Date: January 30, 2007 1:02:10 PM CST To: ECOLOG-L@LISTSERV.UMD.EDU Subject: Obituary of ornithology great: Harold Mayfield Obituary for Renowned Ornithologist Harold Mayfield (Obituary from the Toledo Blade) Harold F. Mayfield, 95, an acclaimed ornithologist whose research unlocked the secrets of the rare Kirtland's warbler, and a personnel executive at Owens-Illinois Inc. who used his work experience to come up with a method to calculate species' nesting success, died Saturday in the Swan Creek Retirement Village. He had been in declining health for about seven months. Formerly of Waterville, Mr. Mayfield lived at the retirement village for several years. He retired at 60 from O-I to spend more time on ornithology, the scientific study of birds. "I've been an example of what an amateur can do," Mr. Mayfield told The Blade in 2002 after he was chosen to receive the Robert Ridgway Award from the American Birding Association for a lifetime of publications in field ornithology. Still, his amateur status was a formality. He published more than 200 scholarly papers. He was, at various times, president of the American Ornithologists' Union, the Wilson Ornithological Society, and the Cooper Ornithological Society - the only person to have led ornithology's three major organizations. His 1960 monograph about the Kirtland's warbler was considered central to solving the mysteries of the endangered species, which until recent years nested only in a narrow section of northern Lower Michigan. It winters only in the Bahamas. The species only nests in sandy soil beneath stands of jack pine trees young enough to still have lower branches close to the ground. That means the birds depend for their survival on periodic forest fires that clear old-growth trees and allow the regrowth of jack pines to provide ground cover. Mr. Mayfield found that the brown-headed cowbird, which lays its eggs in other species' nests, could be especially devastating to the Kirtland's warbler population. His research led to aggressive trapping of the cowbirds in the Kirtland's range. He helped develop a federal-state-private Kirtland's warbler recovery plan in 1974. The species, at its low point several decades ago, had 167 males. There are more than 1,400 now. According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, all nests until 1996 were found within 60 miles of one site. Since then, a small number of nests have been found each year in the Upper Peninsula, and the species has nested in Wisconsin and Ontario. "That's quite remarkable," said Elliot Tramer, a University of Toledo professor of ecology and a longtime friend. "No one has played a larger role than Harold in the recovery of the Kirtland's warbler from extinction." Mr. Mayfield's monograph was deemed "the most important recent work on the birds in the Western Hemisphere" by the American Ornithologists' Union, which in 1961 gave him its top honor, the Brewster Memorial Award, for his work. " That study pretty much set the standard for life history studies of birds. It was so thorough and well done," Mr. Tramer said. Mr. Mayfield long had an interest in the polar regions. He was widely known for his research into the red phalarope, a seabird that nests on the Arctic shore for only a few weeks annually, spending the rest of its life in the world's oceans. In the bird study world, Mr. Mayfield was most known for his "Mayfield Method," used to calculate a species' nesting success. Mr. Mayfield, who had a master's degree in mathematics, said that the method was an outgrowth of his professional work at O-I in calculating workplace safety records." Without formal training in ornithology - he was essentially self-taught - he was able to make these remarkable contributions," Mr. Tramer said. Mr. Mayfield received many awards, among them the Arthur A. Allen Award of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology in 1990 and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Toledo Naturalists' Association in 2003. Born in Minneapolis, he was adopted as an infant and grew up in Burlington, Iowa, and Alton, Ill., where he attended high school. He received a bachelor's degree from Shurtleff College, now part of Southern Illinois University, and a master's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. He taught high school a short time before he was hired in 1935 by what is now O-I at its plant in Alton. He was athletic into adulthood, playing tennis and semi-professional basketball until a stroke at 28. He was partially paralyzed for a time and walked with a limp for several months. He took stock afterward and began bird watching to relax. As his interest grew, he visited the University of Michigan and became friends with the curator of birds there. The curator had begun a study of the Kirtland's warbler; Mr. Mayfield continued the work after the curator's death. Mr. Mayfield was also respected in personnel management and was the author of more than 90 papers on workplace matters. His work appeared in the Harvard Business Review. For his accomplishments in business and biology, he received honorary doctorates from Bowling Green State University and Occidental College in California. Surviving Harold are his wife, Virginia, whom he married in 1936; sons, John and Charles Mayfield; daughters, Sigrid Boie and Sheryl "Mindy" Mayfield; four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

We just got back from a three day trip up to Sax Zim and surrounding areas. Lots of great birds. We were inspired by Mike Hendrickson's email on the 28th. We, however, found the same birds in a lot of different locations; so it's good birding up there. Here were the highlights of Sax Zim: Gray-crowned Rosy-finch: We spotted all three of them at their location. (In the dead sunflower patch at the blue office building in Cloquet.) Boreal Chickadee: We saw probably 8 of these throughout our second day. There seem to be packs of roaming chickadees throughout Sax Zim, and if you find a pack of them, just listen for the odd buzzier call in the pack. A lot of fun to see. We spotted ours about four miles east of Hwy 7 on Arkola Rd. (CR 52). They were moving fast however, and soon gone, though we actually got a scope on one. We spotted some more on Owl Ave. later in the evening. Three-toed Woodpecker: We found one male about three miles north of CR 28 on McDavitt Rd. Driving around there, we spotted stripped bark on the east side of the road and got out to listen for pecking. We spotted it briefly before it sank deeper into the forest. Black-backed Woodpecker: At two locations. There were three (two females and a male) at the same location as the Three-toed, pecking away, and one more on Hedbom Trail around the spot that Mike Hendrickson saw his. (2.6 miles down for the yellow gate.) Just look for the stripped trees. White-winged Crossbill: We saw a beautiful pair of them on CR 980. To get there, go south down Owl Ave and it's a cross street about two miles down. Common Redpolls: We spotted a tree full of them at the same location as the Boreal Chickadee flock. We also spotted some of the more common residents... Red-breasted Nuthatches, lots of Northern Shrikes, a scattering of Gray Jays, a few Pine Grosbeaks, a lone Harrier flew by over Owl Ave... As for Duluth, we drove to the parking lot and walked to the shipping bay under the lift bridge. Among the hundreds of Common Goldeneye, we spotted a lone female* Long-tailed Duck* which was mixing with the Common Goldeneye and diving a lot. A lone *White-winged Scoter* was also standing out in front of all the Goldeneye. And lastly, the male *Harlequin Duck* floated by, way, way out at the tips of the lighthouses. We watched him for a minute, then totally lost him, then jumped in shock when we looked over and spotted him floating right by us in the shipping lane. We watched him float to the ice at the mouth of the harbor, and then saw him fly off to the buoys west of us way out into Superior. On our way back to the parking lot, to our shock, we spotted the female Harlequin swimming next to the ice just near the shore. Just as an after-note, it was unbelievably cold. If you go up there, dress warm, because it is freezing. I don't think it ever got above 5 degrees. And that's not counting the winds.

White-winged Crossbill: We saw a beautiful pair of them on CR 980. To get there, go south down Owl Ave and it's a cross street about two miles down.

Common Redpolls: We spotted a tree full of them at the same location as the Boreal Chickadee flock.

We also spotted some of the more common residents... Red-breasted Nuthatches, lots of Northern Shrikes, a scattering of Gray Jays, a few Pine Grosbeaks, a lone Harrier flew by over Owl Ave...

As for Duluth, we drove to the parking lot and walked to the shipping bay under the lift bridge.
Among the hundreds of Common Goldeneye, we spotted a lone female Long-tailed Duck which was mixing with the Common Goldeneye and diving a lot. A lone White-winged Scoter was also standing out in front of all the Goldeneye. And lastly, the male Harlequin Duck floated by, way, way out at the tips of the lighthouses. We watched him for a minute, then totally lost him, then jumped in shock when we looked over and spotted him floating right by us in the shipping lane. We watched him float to the ice at the mouth of the harbor, and then saw him fly off to the buoys west of us way out into Superior. On our way back to the parking lot, to our shock, we spotted the female Harlequin swimming next to the ice just near the shore.

Just as an after-note, it was unbelievably cold. If you go up there, dress warm, because it is freezing. I don't think it ever got above 5 degrees. And that's not counting the winds.

Good birding!

This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, February 1st, 2007 sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

The three GRAY-CROWNED ROSY-FINCHES at the Fond du Lac Resource Management Division office just west of Cloquet were reported as recently as January 31st.

Dave Carmen reports that the gray morph GYRFALCON is being seen regularly in Superior around the grain elevators west of the I-535 Blatnick Bridge, and near the Peavy elevators. The SNOWY OWL in the Duluth Port Terminal along Garfield Avenue and the NORTHERN HAWK OWL on the Rice Lake Road (CR 4) about a quarter mile north of the Martin Road (CR 9) have been reported by several observers in the past few days. Lars Benson found a flock of about 25 SNOW BUNTINGS at the Hawk Owl location on the 26th.

In Canal Park, the WHITE-WINGED SCOTER, LONG-TAILED DUCK, and HARLEQUIN DUCK pair were all relocated earlier this week. Jan Green reported 600 COMMON GOLDENEYES in the shipping channel today, although numbers have varied with the amount of ice cover. Don Kienholz relocated the YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER earlier in the week near the warming shack at Bayfront Park in Duluth. Mike Hendrickson saw a flock of seven COMMON GRACKLES on the 30th along Grand Avenue near the zoo in west Duluth.

Conny Brunell and Susan Schumacher found a male SPRUCE GROUSE on the 26th along Lake County Road 2, one mile north of the Sand River. Jan Green relocated the AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER on the 28th at Lighthouse Point in Two Harbors. The WHITE-WINGED SCOTER at Burlington Bay was still being seen over the weekend. Mike Hendrickson relocated the male and female VARIED THRUSH, GRAY CATBIRD, and WHITE-THROATED SPARROW on the 29th at a home in Silver Bay. Contact Jim Lind at jslind@frontiernet.net for directions to the home.

A pair of GREAT GRAY OWLS was found on the 29th along Aitkin County Road 18, just west of the Hebron Cemetery. The Great Gray Owls along the Hedbom Forest Road in northeastern Aitkin County have apparently become difficult to find, but may still be present. BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS and AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKERS continue to be reported along the Hedbom Road 2-3 miles west of the eastern gate. SHARP-TAILED GROUSE continue to be found along Kestrel Avenue (CR 16), 0.4 mile south of Tamarack.

Mike Hendrickson found a flock of more than 500 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS on the 29th along the West Knife River Road (CR 231), west of the Homestead Road (CR 42). Shawn Conrad reported flocks in Itasca County last week in Grand Rapids near the police station and in the town of Bovey.

The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, February 8th.

Minnesota's second Wetlands Summit, Cultivating a Minnesota Land Ethic, recognizes the importance of a sustainable land ethic in achieving a sound balance between agricultural programs and the vitality of wetlands, clean water and suitable habitat for fish and wildlife. One main topic will address farming as an integral part of wetlands preservation and ways to build bridges with the farming community. Another main topic will be the influence of climate change on farming and wetlands.

Today I went on a hunt for the Gyrfalcon and I was in luck, the Gyrfalcon was on a hunt as well ,for duck dinner. I first encountered the bird at 180th and Emery ave on one of the high power lines post. As I prepared to put the scope on him, he decided to fly south west toward Donnelly ave. with myself in pursuit. Located him from 180th on the north south irrigation system. I continued to Donnelly and by the time i was opposite of the irrigation system he had moved, but suddenly reappeared in pursuit of a duck dinner . He was unsucessful and landed in a tree west of Donnelly. Was able to scope the bird from there with another birder, Mark Junghans. A good time was had.

I pulled around my binocs in time to see a cardinal come back and sit down on the trail, on very hard packed snow. It was not foraging or standing. It just sat down only to fly away (again) when I started skiing again. At -10 F, this struck me as very odd behavior. I would expect a bird to perch in a tree in the most sheltered area it could find. I know some birds, like grouse? may roost in loose fluffy snow but sittng down of hard packed in subzero temperatures just doesn't make sense. If anybody has some insight, please let me know.

HI folks,

I have just received the following email and photos from Gene Bakko,
Prof. of Biology and Curator of Natural Lands, at St. Olaf College.
I'm in the middle of work and can't do much more than forward this now.

I have limited experience with McKay's in Alaska, but believe this
needs a further look by those of you more knowledgeable.  It looks like
the real deal to me.

Bakko has forwarded the photo from Hibbing and a photo of the Snow

This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, February 8th, 2007 sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

There have been very few reports over the past week, probably due to the bitter cold snap over the weekend. The north shore of Lake Superior is now ice covered from Duluth to near the French River, and the harbor is frozen around Canal Park, so it is not known if the Harlequin Ducks or other species of interest are still in the area.

The three GRAY-CROWNED ROSY-FINCHES at the Fond du Lac Resource Management Division office just west of Cloquet were reported as recently as February 5th.

Repeating from last week's report, Dave Carman reports that the gray morph GYRFALCON is being seen regularly in Superior around the grain elevators west of the I-535 Blatnick Bridge, and near the Peavy elevators. The SNOWY OWL in the Duluth Port Terminal along Garfield Avenue and the NORTHERN HAWK OWL on the Rice Lake Road (CR 4) about a quarter mile north of the Martin Road (CR 9) were both reported by several observers early last week. Lars Benson found a flock of about 25 SNOW BUNTINGS at the Hawk Owl location on January 26th.

Today I went to 170th street , just east of Highway 52 in Dakota County ,where there was a huge build up of ducks and geese. I was there from 3:00 to 4:30. The following raptors were observed, 2 Red-tailed Hawks, 1 Bald Eagle and the Gyrfalcon. I saw the Gryfalcon make 3 attempts to snatch a duck. First 2 produced nothing . The third attempt I lost him ,so I'm not sure of his success.

The finches fed on top of the green flower pot, picked at the old sunflower plants and also on seeds that were tossed on the ground. Also, when you come to see the finches and they are not there when you arrive, well you might have to wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

They came in high over the building, then dropped down under a parked car and worked their way up to the flower pot.They stayed about 10 minutes and flew away across the street. After that we drove the Hedbom road were it was pretty quiet, but we did see some White-winged Crossbills, and one Black-backed Woodpecker. We heard another but did not see that one.

I am receiving no financial gain from this notice, it is merely to help ABA and the flow of funds that should accrue to local conservation efforts in Ecuador. The 2007 ABA International Conference will be held in Quito, the capital city of Ecuador, in September. The company handling this conference for the ABA is Tropical Birding, which is based in Quito. We (Tom and I) have had excellent experience with this company and can say that attendees should expect a first class operation. The attendance limit is 230 people. Elizabeth Bell on Grey Cloud Island 5868 Pioneer Road South Saint Paul Park MN 55071-1143 651 459-4150 2007 ABA International Conference, Quito, Ecuador To quote from the organizers: "This is the first time this event will take place in South America. Everyone will stay at the same hotel in Quito (the Dann Carlton, very nice), while taking day trips each day to various sites in the Andes. The day trips will be: Antisana (dry high-elevation plateau with condors), Papallacta (eastern temperate forest and moist paramo with seedsnipe), Yanacocha (temperate forest west of Quito, think mountain-tanagers), Tandayapa (out-of-control hummer feeders in the western subtropics), and Milpe (super diverse Choco foothill forest). Because some of the birding will be on forest trails, the groups will be small, with about 8 people to each leader. The guides are world-class, and hopefully all participants will get the experience of a short birding tour, but with the added bonus of top-notch speakers each night. There is also a non-birding track, with cultural day trips for non-birding companions and spouses. Non-birders will visit Tandayapa and Antisana as well. Could this be the perfect birding conference? There is a big conservation connection that we're very excited about too. A portion of each registration fee will go toward local conservation, supporting land purchase around the existing Milpe Bird Sanctuary (Mindo Cloudforest Foundation) and Yanacocha Reserve (Jocotoco Foundation). Both of these are locations we will visit on day trips during the conference, so everyone can see the areas they are supporting. Swarovski has made an up-front commitment of support, and the event should generate over $50,000 in total for local conservation. Awesome! Here's the website you can check out for more information and registration forms: http://www.americanbirding.org/mtgs/conferences/2007quito/. The conference registration is actually going very well, and we've already got around 140 people."

The bird was actually right along I-94 on the westbound lane side. The owl was in plain view in a tree 0.3 miles west of Mile Marker 30 right next to the highway. This is a few miles west of the Hwy. 108 exit. The location isn't too far from the Rothsay WMA area. Also, I relocated one of the Eurasian Collared Doves in Lowry, Pope County. The bird was feeding on the tracks, right next to the grain elevators. Ben Fritchman _________________________________________________________________ The average US Credit Score is 675.

It is truly a lovely creature--and a lifer for me. The homeowner had introduced herself to me a couple of days ago, and is most gracious about having folks park beside her yard.

We first saw him in the maple tree that stands between the little spruce and the lilac bushes at the edge of the yard. He then flew down to eat under the feeders for about 10 minutes. To our surprise, he was very assertive in dealing with house sparrows; a few different times, he chased sparrows out of his personal eating space, holding his own though outnumbered. He remained alert while feeding, raising his head and glancing around regularly. After a short period, he flew off low to the east, past the garage, toward the yard across the alley.

At the Superior landfill, we found GLAUCOUS GULLS, THAYER'S GULLS AND an ICELAND GULL. The NORTHERN HAWK OWL was in its spot on county road 4 near the coffee shop. On owl avenue in Sax Zim area we found only GRAY JAYS and PINE GROSBEAKS. This might be because it was so windy. We came home by way of Hedbom Forest Road and found a couple from Ohio looking at a GREAT GRAY OWL. We joined them in watching it. The owl was on a snag on the north side of the road in the area where the woodpecker working is most extensive. The couple from Ohio also mentioned that they had spent about two hours walking through the tamaracks and found a NORTHERN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER and 5 BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS.

On the way, we observed a red-tail hawk fly to the top of the high-rise near the east entrance to the park; I don't usually see them perched on tall buildings. Later, we startled a red-tail from a tree on the north side of the bigger lake; he glided over the water and disappeared to the south. On the river path, close to the 35E bridge, we startled two perched bald eagles, who proceeded to soar downriver. There were 3 more baldies further upriver, and a rough-legged hawk dodging repeated attacks by a crow. Still present were large flocks of robins on the north side of the lake and about 20 mallards sharing the small beaver-created "terrace" there with a muskrat. There were also several woodpeckers-- downy, hairy, and red-belly -- as well as housefinches, juncos, chickadees, and w.b. nuthatches. As an aside, we observed in a red squirrel a behavior new to us: the squirrel was positioned inside a shallow tree cavity, and continuously licking the inner surface, which appeared to be lined with frozen sap (maple sugar anyone?). We joined Craig Mandel at Black Dog. Among the Canada geese and mallards were some trumpeter swans, bufflehead, and common mergansers. One eagle sat on the edge of the ice on the west side, and another soared over the trees at the east end. Most satisfactory were long looks at the peregrine falcon pair, sitting on a wooden frame at head-level height, on the north edge of the west lake. The Marsh Trail was quiet except for the activity of a number of robins.

It's best to stay in your car, because the bird is wary, and will disappear for 45 minutes or so, if there's any noisy commotion.

The highlight was lots of Spruce Grouse! There were 10 on Lake Cty Rd 2 this morning at dawn (ran into Linda Sparling there), and 4 more on Hwy 1, 1/4 mile east of 377 (Tomahawk Rd) at 9:15 AM. Unfortunately, the 4 male Spruce Grouse were strolling around the body of a fifth that apparently had been hit by a car just moments before judging from the blood that was still flowing. Other sightings: Boreal Chickadee and White-winged Crossbills (short look) along Lake Cty 2 Male Three-toed Woodpecker working a Tamarack right on the edge of Hwy 1, .4 mile west of mile marker 313. There were good numbers of Common Redpolls, Pine Siskins, and Pine Grosbeaks in the Isabella area. I visited Silver Bay and had a great look at the male Varied Thrush at 12:15 PM. The Catbird and White-throated sparrow that have been reported previously were present as well. 100 plus Bohemian Waxwings were on the north side of the Hwy 61 expressway at Larsmont Rd at 2:00 PM. Saturday - Duluth Northern Hawk Owl was across the street from the coffee shop at 3:30 PM. The White-winged Scoter and Long-tailed duck reported at Canal Park were still present as well. I also stopped by Carlos Avery on the way home this evening but found it very quiet between 5 and 6 PM. No SE Owls to be seen and only one Harrier for raptors. A non-bird note; I came across a cow and calf moose crossing Hwy 1 between Isabella and Finland. The cow was sporting a tracking collar around her neck.

Jeff Stephenson and others found a Three-toed Woodpecker just north of Milepost 31 on St. Highway 72 north of Kelliher in Beltrami County. I was able to refind the bird later this morning, which bird is a well colored male with yellow crown patch and considerable well defined barring on the back with the back barring on a gray background. It was in the old growth stand of tamaracks on the west side of the highway amidst the many stripped trees. The woods look to be under heavy stress from the recent droughts. It has been over twenty years, as far as I know, since the last reliable record for this species in Beltrami County. There were also several male Hairy Woodpeckers present, and one with an especially large amount of white on the back From SCmzd@aol.com Tue Feb 20 01:50:55 2007 From: SCmzd@aol.com (SCmzd@aol.com) Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 20:50:55 EST Subject: [mou] Boreal Birds in Duluth....

The spring like weather was a treat and the birding was very enjoyable as well. Roads are clear, with snow cover on most of the fields. Here are some of the species we encountered. Golden Eagle - Houston County, CR 5, Approx 2 miles South East of CR 14, or 1 mile West of Quarry Road - A single Adult Golden Eagle was observed in flight at 2:10 pm and was seen in the area for about 15 minutes. We also observed a number of Bald Eagles and Red-tailed Hawks along CR 5 and all were observed within a mile of where the Golden Eagle was observed. Mourning Dove - small flocks were observed at 4 locations in Fillmore and Houston Counties. Eastern Screech-Owl - Olmsted county Belted Kingfisher - Highway 30, along the bridge just West of the intersection with Highway 52. The bird was observed sitting on a wire over the creek. Red-headed Woodpecker - Olmsted county - CR 19, South of Highway 52 Northern Flicker - 3 observed at different locations along Houston county road 5. Horned Lark - They are back and were observed in small groups on almost every gravel road we traveled along. Tufted Titmouse - Olmstead county - Highway 30, observed at a feeder on the North side of the road, 2.6 miles West of Highway 52. Houston County - CR 5, same location as the Golden Eagle and 3 more were observed 3 miles East of that location along CR 5. American Robin - Houston - 100+ were observed at 4 stops along CR5. Purple Finch - Fillmore county - Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center - 20 or 30 observed at there feeders.

The viewing conditions for the SEO have changed quite a bit in the last two days. With the warm temps. the fields are no longer mostly covered with snow. He is hard to see against the dark background of the field dirt. Unless he is working the ditches next to the road, viewing is difficult. I first saw him on 2-18-07 from 4:45pm-5:45pm as posted on MOU sightings. The next day I observed two owls, with one working the ditch immediately east of 860th St. on the south side. Again, the views were great! He even flew as far east as the next road down past 860th. All three days I looked during that last hour of daylight. So, if you go, be patient and scan the fields south of Hwy. 215 east of Maple Island and even further east of 860th St. Gary Johnson Owatonna From SCmzd@aol.com Wed Feb 21 02:11:38 2007 From: SCmzd@aol.com (SCmzd@aol.com) Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 21:11:38 EST Subject: [mou] Boreal Birds in Duluth persist....

There were also two mated pairs of cardinals staking out territory. The grosbeaks continue to feast on the ash tree seeds. The land in this area is transected with the western waterfront trail, a railroad track, Grand ave., and the zoo. This setup provides ample opportunity to approach the grosbeaks closely, from a variety of different angles. As aforementioned, the birds are quite tame, and fly down from the trees to within 10ft at times to eat snow and forage on fallen seeds. This is the third day in a row these birds have been here.

At 3:15 today the MSP airport Snowy Owl was about 150 yards due east from the Delta Airlines Cargo facility at the southern end of the airport.  This is just west of where 24th Avenue turns west when coming from 494 (the top of the owl's head was visible from 24th, so I pulled into the cargo facility).  This heavily-barred owl was perched on the ground next to an orange traffic cone.

This afternoon, 2/25/2007, we were down at the Black Dog Lake area. We were having a wonderful time watching Bald Eagles, Hawks, Trumpeter Swans and other wonderful waterfowl. When we got home she realized that her ring wedding ring was missing. She only got out of the car twice when we were in the area, once at the West end parking lot where we walked to the river to see a Bald Eagle in a tree and then across the street and up the bank a little ways to see two Trumpeter Swans. The other place she got out of the car was at the East end where there's a small pull-off/parking area just before the road curves south. The ring is yellow gold, with a small diamond solitaire, and an attached band has several small diamonds on each side. There is an inscription on the inside of the ring that says "In Awe". I am posting this message to this list because I know there are a lot of people here who visit this area regularly. I apologize if this message bothers or annoys anyone, as it is off subject, but I really need to make every effort to help my wife find her ring. I realize that it may be a lost hope with all of the new snow, but if anyone by the best of chances happens to be so lucky as to find it, I would so truly appreciate it if they could give us a call or email.

They even have a special display (from All About Birds): a.. Males, but only rarely females, defend and maintain small feeding territories around bird feeders. They are aggressive and dominate many other feeder bird species. a.. To defend a territory a male may first give a Tail-Up display where the bird faces away from the intruder and holds its tail up to show off the gray-and-white patterned undertail coverts. If the intruder keeps coming the male may turn around and give the Head-Forward display with the wings fanned to show off the orange wing stripe and the tail cocked up over the head showing the white corners.

This is likely one of a pair that was flushed by a tree-trimming crew last week. Diana Doyle and I found a white-washed tree near the back of the stand, with many pellets around the base, the day after the trimming. After much searching today, Rob and I spotted the owl a couple of trees over from there. When retracing our footsteps to leave the stand, we found a large nest that looked as though it might accommodate owls. Both owl and nest were visible only from almost directly below their sites. (The trail leading past the conifers is a designated ski trail, so you have to keep off to the side of it before veering into the trees.)
