[mou] South Minneapolis common redpolls and a barred owl

[Rob Daves]

Although I've kept a number of well-stocked feeders and ice-free birdbaths this winter, I've had the usual northern cardinals, house sparrows, juncos and American goldfinches.  Love 'em, but see 'em every day.   Once I watched a Cooper's hawk snack on a small bird in the oak in Pearl Park across from my house, but that was as exotic as it got.  

I had a twofer today:  Running along Minnehaha Creek just east of I-35W about 1:45 p.m., I heard a barred owl.  Just west of the interstate saw a flock of common redpolls buzzing about in a grove of conifers.
