This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, November 25th.
The selasphorus hummingbird continues to visit the feeders at Laura
Erickson's home in east Duluth. The bird was seen as recently as the
23rd.
GREAT GRAY OWLS and NORTHERN HAWK OWLS continue to be seen across
northeastern Minnesota. The Sax-Zim bog area seems to be one of the
better places to look. Check there along St. Louis County Road 7
between County Roads 52 and 319; along County Road 133 west of U.S.
Highway 53; and along McDavitt Road and Admiral Road.
A SNOWY OWL was seen on the 21st at the Rice Lake National Wildlife
Refuge in Aitkin County. It was found along the Magneson refuge road
off state highway 65, half a mile south of the visitor center.
There was a winter-plumaged PACIFIC LOON at Agate Bay in Two Harbors,
Lake County on the 20th. It was found near the end of the western
break wall. Another Pacific Loon was reported the same day at the
Garrison harbor of Lake Mille Lacs in Crow Wing County.
A late BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was seen on November 24th at a
wetland in North Oaks, Ramsey County.
The TOWNSEND'S SOLITARE was still on the Ann Lake Campground Road in
Sherburne County on November 24th, and it has been joined by a second
solitaire. The location is just under a mile and a half east of
Sherburne County Road 5 on county road 4.
Janet Blixt reported two NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRDS in her yard in the
central hillside area of Duluth on the 21st. And on the 19th, a
Northern Mockingbird was in north central Murray County. This bird
was found along Murray County Road 30 just north of where it passes
between Lake Maria and Lake Sarah.
Finally, a late CAPE MAY WARBLER has been visiting a feeder at Steve
Roman's home in Champlin, Hennepin County, for quite some time. Steve
reported it as recently as November 23rd.
