Was thrilled to find the Harper's VARIED THRUSH in a flock of robins and waxwings at 3:25 PM Tuesday. I arrived at the site (Roseville intersection of County C2 and Merrill) in light rain at 2:25 PM. Didn't see a single bird in any of the three crab apple trees on the NW corner for the first half hour. At 2:55 PM a flock of robins and cardinals moved into the area. When the flocks come in they use the taller trees on the south side of Merrill as a staging area for raids on the crab apples across the street. With bino I found our lxoreus naevius perched among a flock of waxwings in these taller trees.
Thanks to all who reported their sightings. Don Darnell Eden Prairie Hennepin 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
