Lots of bird activity. Yesterday, along 35W, in those 30 below wind chills, on a lamp post, was a red-tailed hawk. That is as tough as they get.
Saw a barred owl come off the freeway median by the airport in the dark two mornings ago. The rough-legged hawk is still perching. The bald eagle flew low over the freeway. About 20 wild turkey toms, strutting and establishing rank by the officers club on Fort Snelling Park lawns.
I watched a red-tailed hawk fly over the freeway with a mouse in his beak the other night.
A dead doe, hit by a car, is lying in the median between the lanes of Highway 5 into the airport 100 feet west of Post Road. The poor thing has been there for two or three weeks, and no one moves to remove her.
I will call the DOT number when I get home today to see if they can dispose of her. Why none others step up and take care of this sad kind of things saddens me. Why must I do what should be routine for airport cops, and airport maintenance workers, and Delta employees driving by the doe thousands of times per week?
