[mou] Hennepin Bell's Vireo - Update

[Howard Towle]

The Bell's Vireo reported near Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis was  
present on Saturday morning from 7:30-8:15 AM. The bird was singing  
actively (except when the jets were roaring by directly overhead) and  
followed exactly the same pattern described by Paul Budde yesterday  
(pasted below). This guy seems to be on  territory and, as far as I  
could see, it was another case of unrequited love.

**************************

Pasted from Paul Budde's message:

Still present today at 11 AM, in the previously described location.   
 From 54th St and Lake Nokomis Parkway on the west side of Cedar Ave,  
there is a side walking path towards the lake (going east).  The  
northernmost point at which I heard the vireo was where this side  
path meets the main path.  I followed it southward on this path with  
the lake to the east and a marshy area to the west all the way to  
where the path makes a sharp left turn and there is a small wooden  
bridge.  At this point it was singing from some coniferous trees  
(with a small deciduous tree growing in the middle of it).  This  
entire area is the extreme SW corner of the lake, all of it on the  
west side of Cedar Ave.

Thanks to Don Wanschura for finding the bird and to Tony Hertzel for  
passing along the information.
