Spent the day birding Aitkin & Cass counties with Esther Gesick, Charlie
Greenman and Bonnie Mulligan as part of the owl survey project. We had a
nice "wintery mix" of birds:

Great Gray Owls:
#1) on Highway 169 about 6 miles north of Aitkin county road 68
#2) on Aitkin county road 7 about 1 mile west of Highway 169
#3) on Aitkin county road 19 about 1.7 miles east of the Cass/Aitkin county
line
#4) on Cass county road 58 about 5.2 miles west of the Cass/Aitkin county
line
#5) on Cass county 58 about .2 miles east of the village of Mae (really,
it's in the Delorme!)

Northern Hawk Owls:
#1 & #2) both at the intersection of Aitkin county road 18 & Highway 169
#3) at the intersection of Aitkin county roads 1 & 21

Other birds of note:
All in Aitkin county: A couple of flocks of Bohemian Waxwings,  three - four
flocks of Pine Grosbeaks, one flock of Common Redpolls, a single Northern
shrike and several Rough-legged Hawks scattered throughout.

On Lake Mille Lacs there is still some open water and we were able to find a
nice flock of Common Goldeneyes and one lone Bonaparte's Gull near Garrison,
but little else.

Regards..
