Re: [mou-net] Dakota Co 149th St Marsh

Have you contacted City Hall? Or you might even try the Mayor’s office/staff? Someone at City Hall should be available to help. Kathryn Rudd - Eagan Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 24, 2020, at 11:50 PM, Brian Tennessen > wrote: > > Sorry, I do not know but was wondering the same thing.. > >>

Re: [mou-net] Dakota Co 149th St Marsh

Hi, I got this message from Alyssa DeRubeis on this thread, that she sent only to me last night, which I will paste here, (I trust this is fine to share) that seems less dire.. If there are going to be hearings it would be good to find out more there... Hi Brian, It's a great question, and one

Re: [mou-net] Dakota Co 140th St Marsh

Thank you, to all of you providing some answers. I was mistaken regarding ownership of the property and responsibility for the project. I see that there were/are intentions of mitigating the damage the project will cause. While such efforts may help, some damage will no doubt be irreparable. (It ma

[mou-net] Byllesby County Park

I spent the morning walking through the cedars on the north side of the highway. Song, Field and White-throated Sparrows. Several Brown Thrashers. Both Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Other than hearing a yellow-legs, there was nothing at the west end of the lake. It is really low. Bru

Re: [mou-net] Dakota Co 140th St Marsh

I would use this as a commercial and good reason to join the MN Birding FB page. We all knew what was going on several days ago.No reason to all City Hall, the police or anyone else. It is all settled and being handled legally. One great thing about the page is that it provides info in real time. S

Bird Lovers Thanks to Linda Schwegman for taking time to research this activity and providing the article. According to that, the 140th St Marsh will be destroyed at some time. "[the company]...plans to remove a 9.35-acre "ecologically significant" wetland area to complete the expansion." and

[mou-net] Glossy Ibis, hyrbird ibis, many W-F Ibis (Jackson Co.)

You can see it all in Jackson County! Aaron and Cooper Ludwig found 44 White-faced Ibis, which later revealed one Glossy Ibis and one hybrid White-faced x Glossy Ibis. I'm not sure who first confirmed the identification of the two latter birds. Note that the hybrid has entirely red legs, whereas t

Re: [mou-net] Glossy Ibis, hyrbird ibis, many W-F Ibis (Jackson Co.)

While the report is amazing, it is not considered an official record till MOURC makes a recommendation. Glossy Ibis is amazing, a hybrid needs some serious documentation. Especially with a comment of " One obvious hybrid. Pink legs." I've seen thousands of Ibis, Glossy, White-faced. and White. I

Re: [mou-net] Glossy Ibis, hyrbird ibis, many W-F Ibis (Jackson Co.)

Hi Terence et al., There was direct comparison between the two birds, and one had all the field marks for a classic Glossy, including dark eye, gray facial skin, and incomplete white face mask, along with restricted red color in the ankles. It was discussed at length amongst several knowledgeable

Re: [mou-net] Glossy Ibis, hyrbird ibis, many W-F Ibis (Jackson Co.)

Direct comparisons of a supposed Glossy, and a hyrbid is a moot point. A Glossy is one of those species that needs hundreds of photos at different angles and good light to verify it is a Glossy. A Glossy Ibis is difficult at best to identify in the field, a hybrid would raise that to a power of
