The CLARK'S NUTCRACKER continues to be fairly easy to find in Silver
Bay, Lake County. Check the feeders near 144 Edison Boulevard but

reported since the 19th when it was seen briefly along state highway

the north end of Spirit Lake at the Iowa border. It was found as
recently as the 17th.

Black Rush Lake in the basin north of Lyon County Road 59. Also seen
here on the same day was an unidentified IBIS.
On October 18th, there was female-plumaged HARLEQUIN DUCK at Agate

pier that projects into the harbor. On the previous day, a first
winter GLAUCOUS GULL was on the harbor's break wall.
A NORTHERN HAWK OWL was found on the 14th, on the west side of Lake
of the Woods County Road 72, six miles south of Baudette. Another
Northern Hawk Owl was seen at 1321 Stoney Point Drive in St. Louis
County on the 17th. And the Northern Hawk Owl reported over the past

on the 19th, on the east side of state highway 7, one and three
quarter miles north of the Sax Road.
On the 19th, a GREAT GRAY OWL was seen about three miles west of the
Warroad Customs Station in Roseau County. As many as three more were
seen within the Northwest Angle.
As many as 160 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER were in a small wetland on the
north side of Brown County Road 6, 2.8 miles west of the Lake Hanska
boat access.
And the SPOTTED TOWHEE is still being seen at the Martin's feeder in
Shorewood, Hennepin County. From state highway 7, go north on Vine
Hill Road for 1/4 a block and then left on Excelsior Boulevard. Stop
