[Mnbird] Scott County

[Roger Schmidt]

The birds are frantic to find food in the storm. We have a flock of nothing less 300 Juncos we've been feeding. I've never seen anything like it. We have 3 protected areas to feed from. They are lovin it! Over the past couple of weeks we've had a troupe of Redpols emptying 2 socks of Nyjer seed every other day. This is getting expensive :) Spring better get here soon so they all can migrate and then I can eat. 

The Sandhill Cranes have been here for weeks now.

I haven't seen her catch anything yet, but one time she was cleaning her beak. I don't think there was enough time between the window strike and her beak-cleaning to have been a catch-and-eat situation, though.
