On Friday (11/18) afternoon I hit a few spots in Clay and western Becker counties. At Buffalo River State Park in Clay County I heard a Common Raven calling. It was snowing at the time and visibility was bad, so I didn't get to see it. At Dunton Lock County Park in Becker County: Scaup species - 1 Hooded Merganser - 1 Wood Duck - 1 Mallard - 17 Calloway, Becker County: Eurasian Collared-Dove - 3 There's apparently a pretty good rodent crop in the northern part of Hamden Slough NWR as there were a lot of raptors in that area. The birding was actually pretty good there: Rough-legged Hawk - 9 Northern Harrier - 2 Bald Eagle - 1 Black-billed Magpie - 1 Greater Prairie Chicken - 20+ Snow Bunting - 2 large flocks Mark Otnes Fargo, ND [log in to unmask] 701-241-4194 ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
