It has been a week of wonderful Christmassy vistas in the northwest with
softly falling snow making everything into a wonderland. With the coming
of milder weather in the last days, this wonder threatens to disappear,
but we will have  a white Christmas for sure.

Ben Fritchman reported a late LINCOLN'S SPARROW coming to his
grandfather's feeder near Long Prairie in Todd County on December 20.

In Otter Tail County, Ben relocated the EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE that was
reported some time ago. Eddy Edwards reported on the Fergus Falls CBC
that found 55 species on December 16. These included AMERICAN WIGEON, no
less than 5 GREAT BLUE HERONS, and a number of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS.

Pelican Rapids, a BALD EAGLE along CR 108, and also a RED-WINGED
BLACKBIRD.

CARDINALS in his yard on December 22. A male NORTHERN CARDINAL was also

species seen on the Clay County side of the Red River including CACKLING
GOOSE, three RING-NECKED DUCKS, a REDHEAD, BOHEMIAN WAXWINDS, and two

Barnesville exit off I 94 on December 19.

Here in Pennington County on December 16, there was a flock of BOHEMIAN
WAXWINGS  in the yard.

Another SNOWY OWL was observed by Maggie Anderson along CR 12 in
Marshall County, seen repeatedly this week in the mornings and/or
evenings. Lisa Newton found 23 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS in Grygla on December
21. A NORTHERN HAWK OWL is still being seen in the interior of Agassiz
National Wildlife Refuge at the Maintenance Center.

GOLDENEYE, and three COMMON MERGANSERS at the Mississippi inlet near
Bemidji on December 16. Lisa Newton saw a SHARP-TAILED GROUSE in Lee
