With little snow cover and some open water, Trump. Swans were<br>> seen in farm fields and open marshes. We saw 11 Bald Eagles, including a<br>> pair on a nest near Hwy 55. Common Redpolls were found in Lake Maria State<br>> Park, along with the resident Barred Owl.<br>> <br>> Misses included Snow Bunting, No. Shrike, Purple Finch and Horned Larks.<br>> Overall numbers were down except for Starlings (~1000) and Mallards (~750).<br>> <br>> The team of Ruth Hiland, Cory Bedeaux, and Jan Carlson found a Long-tail<br>> Duck swimming with Common Goldeneyes in the Miss. River in Monticello. It<br>> was originally seen near the end of Chestnut Ave west of Hwy 25 but the<br>> flock moved up and down the river, making the it difficult to re-find.<br>> <br>> Jim Ryan and Joe Conley found a Snowy Owl in Monticello near the<br>> intersection of Hwy 25 and CR 106 (85th Ave), sitting on irrigation pipes.<br>> This bird was re-found a few hours later resting in tall grass at the edge<br>> of the plowed field.<br>> <br>> Thanks to all the participants: Mark & Cindy Crawford, Jerry & Donna Bahls,<br>> Judy Chucker, Deb Fellows, Jan Bergstrom, Pattie Roggenkamp, and Herb<br>> Dingman.<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Claudia Egelhoff<br>> Minneapolis, MN<br>> <br>> ----<br>> Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net<br>> Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html<br></div> </div></body>
