Up to five eagles are feeding on a 5 foot long fish carcass (sturgeon?) on
the sand bar on the South West point of Hearding Island in St Louis Bay
Duluth, MN. The carcass showed up this morning. Two adult and three
immature eagles have been present most of the day.

A male cowbird has been at my Joe’s Mix bird feeder in Woodbury all day. Are
they common now? I don’t remember seeing them around here before. Thanks.

A couple years ago I found a carcass (almost certainly a sturgeon) on the rocks
on the lake side of Canal Park near the parking lot near the Maritime museum.
By the time I found it it was already in pretty bad shape. I got a couple
photos but haven’t been compelled to share them.

Unfortunately, we have had cowbirds in our backyard every summer for years.
Same with grackles, who turned up a few days ago. No cowbirds yet, though -
at least I haven't spotted any. On the other hand, we seem to have had
fewer starlings in recent summers than previously. Knock wood. ;-)

Cowbirds are quite common. Habitat is forest edges, also farm yards.
Originally they apparently co-evolved with bison and it has been
hypothesized they developed their parasitism as a mechanism to breed and
leave their young behind as they followed the bison.

Can anybody tell me if coral or pinkish brown staining of the head is a
reliable way to distinguish tundra swans from trumpeter swans. Saw quite a

National Wildlife Refuge last Saturday and I was guessing they were tundra
