Hi all... Just got back from a week in southern Florida visiting family (and birding a little). My neighbor reports a large white bird on the top of the high voltage line being harassed by crows. He thought it might have been a Snowy Owl, but could not see it well... Flying out of MSP last Saturday morning we scanned the area around the UPS building as the plane taxied along. But, we saw nothing. Florida was beautiful. Short-sleaved weather and too much food. We stayed in Boyton Beach and birded mostly Loxahatchi and Green Cay. I ended up with 81 species with most of the expected local specialties, missing only the Snail Kite. The most unusual for the area were a Louisiana Waterthrush, a Magnolia Warbler, and a Clay-colored Sparrow. New birds for me in Florida included the Waterthrush, a Screech Owl, Solitary Sandpiper, and a Coopers Hawk, The best sighting was an Otter that just about walked up to me.-- Steve Weston on Quiggley Lake in Eagan [log in to unmask] ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
