Hi All-- Erika and I found the Common Moorhen reported yesterday at River Bend Nature Center in Faribault. We got there around 4:30 pm and found the bird fairly quickly as it swam in the pond near the parking lot at the Center headquarters, as per instructions from Dave Bartkey. I was able to get an OK photograph, posted on my blog: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com/ We did not see the Mockingbird that was also seen there earlier. This morning, 1 May 2011, I banded a Hooded Warbler at my home in Northfield. I will publish a photo of that bird tomorrow on my blog. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://sites.google.com/site/tallmanorum http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika [log in to unmask] ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
