I may have to wander into your neighborhood to see the birds myself. Also, I'm not sure of the LJ "reply to this" ettiquette--I wanted to comment on the idea of the Raptor Center releasing outstate birds locally. You really should make a field trip there...it's fascinating. The center shelters/reahabilitates raptors from all over--including harpy eagles from Venezuela. The ones they can make fit to return home are returned to their native habitat. I think there was a Harris hawk when we visited in July. But, it would be released where it belongs, not in town. http://www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu/ Jan
