I spent a few hours at the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron spot and was able to capture the Crayfish eating behavior previously mentioned by Victor.  This bird ate about 20 crayfish in the time I was there. http://www.naturepixels.com/IMG_3463.jpg Thank you to Victor Lewis for his regular posts on t

[mou-net] Little Blue Heron was not present Wednesday from 5-7:30PM

There were a few people with dogs that were letting them run in the water.  If anyone sees the Little Blue Heron today I would appreciate a note. I was able to photograph this young Pileated Woodpecker which was not a bad consolation prize: http://www.naturepixels.com/3736.jpg Terry Brashear

The bird was present from 2:30-4PM. It spent time south of the park and all along the shoreline in front of the park. I started talking with a sheriff and lost sight of it. I will look a little more then probably head out. I will post a picture when I get home. Terry Join or Lea

Re: [mou-net] Fw: [BIRDCHAT] Picture of Fork-tailed Flycatcher in MN

The bird could easily be still present.  With the holiday I am sure it could be relocated.  Could we get an approximate location in case the bird moves to public property? Terry Brashear Hennepin County, MN http://www.naturepixels.com birdnird AT yahoo.com --- On Wed, 11/25/09, Michael Hendr
