This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, December 29th.

The immature BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE was still present at Black Dog =20
Lake in Dakota County on December 24th. It has been seen at both the =20
western outlet near I-35W along Black Dog Road and at the inlet to =20
the east of the power plant.

An adult GYRFALCON was reported by Peder Svingen on the 29th on the =20
harbor ice out from the Park Point recreation area in Duluth. On the =20
25th, Jim Mattsson found an adult Gyrfalcon near mile marker 216 of =20
state highway 55 just west of Hastings in Dakota County. Since then, =20
several birders have relocated it in the same general area.

Two male HARLEQUIN DUCKS were in Grand Marais, Cook County, on the =20
24th. One was off Artist Point and the other was in the slip behind =20
the North House Folk School.

Dave Grosshuesch found a NORTHERN HAWK OWL on the 28th at the =20
junction of Lake County Road 2 and Forest Highway 11, and a GREAT =20
GRAY OWL on the Stoney River Forest Road, about three miles north of =20
Forest Highway 11. Tim and Nancy Grimes relocated a Northern Hawk Owl =20=

on the 27th at the junction of Stone Lake Road and St. Louis County =20
Road 7 in the Sax-Zim bog. Also in the bog, Greg Seegert found a =20
Great Gray Owl on the 25th on McDavitt Road, three miles north of Sax =20=

Road. Greg also relocated the SNOWY OWL along Aitkin County Road 16 =20
just south of Tamarack. John Ellis reported a Northern Hawk Owl in =20
Aitkin County on the 27th at mile marker 184 of Minnesota Highway =20
200, west of the Rabey Management Area, and a Great Gray Owl along =20
state highway 65 about a quarter of a mile north of Kanabec County =20
Road 25. Karen Sussman found a Snowy Owl on the 26th along U.S. =20
Highway 53 about halfway between mile markers 46 and 47, and about =20
eight miles north of Cotton. And as many as three Snowy Owls have =20
been seen at the Minneapolis / St. Paul airport, especially in the =20
vicinity of Cargo Road.

A TOWNSEND=92S SOLITAIRE was reported by Randy Frederickson on the 19th =20=

in Sibley State Park, Kandiyohi County behind the Interpretive Center.

Thanks also to Matt Shutte, Paul Budde, Chris Benson, and Jim Lind.
