[Mnbird] Mnbird Digest, Vol 89, Issue 15

Sat Apr 16 18:58:27 CDT 2022

Pamela - you had me all excited about a black vulture nearby!!

I am also in Wright County (Otsego), off Hwy 101, a few blocks north of the
Crow River. I am still seeing 6 - 10 Juncos under my feeders each day,
including as I type. I haven't spotted any redpolls since Apr. 4. Still
waiting to see some fox sparrows and butterbutts!
