We saw one of the two Lazuli Buntings previously reported on the west side of Star Lake which is west of the town of Dent in Otter Tail county this afternoon. We saw a female bird at about 1:15 today and then again briefly an hour later. The remnants of the Minnesota Birding Weekend also stopped by on their way home and several saw the bird and were continuing to watch when we left. The bird we saw was a female, so caution is advised because Indigo Buntings are also coming in to the feeders. According to the homeowners (Alma Ronningen is an MOU member), the male was seen in the morning today but not thereafter. The feeder to watch is a flat ceramic feeder with a blue interior hanging on a shepherd's crook near the house (just behind a bird bath). A very birdy yard and the Ronningens are great hosts. Be sure to check out the Osprey nest pole. Directions as previously reported by Jeanie Joppru: Alma Ronningen lives on CR 41 south of MN 108. It's about 3.9 miles south from 108. --Dan & Sandy Thimgan -- Thimgans Battle Lake MN Otter Tail County ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
