A few GREAT GRAY OWLS are still being seen on Aitkin County Road 18.
On the 1st, one was a mile and a half west of Pietz's Road, and on
the 2nd another was just a half mile west of this junction. And still
another is still at the Hebron cemetery east of Pietz's Road.
On the 3rd, a flock of 20 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS was seen in the south
parking lot of Central Lakes College in Brainerd, Crow Wing
County. Another flock of as many as 60 was near the corner of
Anderson Road and Haines Road in Duluth on the 4th.
A HOARY REDPOLL was seen in Two Harbors, Lake County on the 1st. It
was at a feeder just east of 12th Avenue and 9th Street. Another was
at Mike Hendrickson's feeder in Duluth on January 30th, and Cindy
Butler reported one at her feeder in Tamarack, Aitkin County on the
same day.
And finally, Chet Meyers has an over-wintering HERMIT THRUSH at his
