[mou] Forster's Terns, etc./Otter Tail Co

[Dan & Sandy Thimgan]

In Otter Tail County, there was an influx of some "new" birds for us  
this weekend:
May 2
	White-crowned sparrow
May 3
	Forster's Tern (20, north of Ottertail City on Hwy 78 where OT River  
exits Rush Lake)
May 4
	Clay-colored Sparrow
	Baltimore Oriole
	Rose-breasted Grosbeak

PS:  the local lakes are finally open and temps show signs of staying  
above freezing
PPS:  the mortality of nest box birds mentioned by others because of  
the late heavy snow and persistent cold was a concern for us as well,  
but we found just a single dead Tree Swallow in a nest box
PPPS:  just the nicest mix of sparrows in our feeder area today for  
observation/study -- Song, Chipping, Swamp, White-throated,  
Lincoln's, White-crowned

THE SENILITY PRAYER:  "Grant me the senility to forget the people I  
never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and  
the eyesight to tell the difference."
