Hello birders, I had some time before work this morning so I got out to Grey Cloud Dunes early (5:45am) and refound the Bell's Vireo - a pair - in the thicket about 50 yards north of where the previous info stated they were. It took a while to hear them and then see them. They briefly popped up and disappeared. The Catbirds, Thrashers, House Wrens & Field sparrows were nearly cacaphonous and made it difficult to pick them out of the din. Also seen there (aside from the usual suspects) was a flock of about 15 Cedar Waxwings. I also surprised a coyote, who was finishing his/her morning rounds and did not expect to see me out in a field, away from a trail, at that time of day! PS: prepare for ticks - both kinds. -- Sincerely, Jim Ryan Saint Paul's Westside ---- One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken. -* Leo Tolstoy* A well governed appetite is the greater part of liberty. - *Lucius Annaeus Seneca* ---- ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
