Had two groups in the last 3 days. A group from Arizona and a group from =
N. Carolina.
Highlights:
-Hoary Redpolls in Two Harbors and in the out skirts ofDuluth.
-Bohemian Waxwings 600-800 in Knife River across from Emily's Cafe.
-Black-backed Woodpeckers (2) drumming to each other across the road. A =
male and female.
-Townsend's Solitaire on Gladstone and 40th Ave East. (one block below =
the Cooke St. area) Same bird.
-Ruff Grouse=20
-Black-billed Magpie along Co. Rd 52 a mile east of Murphy Lake Rd.
-Glaucous Gulls roosting Allouz Bay in Superior Wi. (2) Off Wi Pt.
-Pine Grosbeaks, Common Redpolls, Great Gray and Hawk Owls, and Evening =
Grosbeak and Gray Jays.
-Snowy Owl #V02 was seen Sat. evening on a yellow/black runway marker =
with a "D" on it. Just NW of the main airport building. Time was 5:00pm.
* The best way to look for Snowy Owls on weekends is to park at the =
Federal Express Building parking lot and walk along the road along the =
runways and prison area. Walk on shoulders of road.
NO Boreal Owls were reported in the Sax Zim/Duluth/Two Harbors area.
News:
I was up at Isabella and had a chat with the owner of Moose Ridge Cafe =
and he is very happy with birders and the business he has gained from us =
that he is going to expand the feeding station. He is going to add more =
feeders, a heated water area and more suet feeders. I chatted with him =
about some designs and how to make them deer proof. I also told him to =
add a guest book and a latest seen book, so visiting birders can see =
what birds were seen at the feeder and when. All this will be added this =
summer! So hats off to all those that gave money to his continue =
feeding, buying his world famous cinnamon toast and egg sandwiches! =
This is the only place where you can eat lunch and scan over hundreds of =
Redpolls, Pine Grosbeaks and poss. a Boreal Chickadee coming to the =
feeders while you eat.
** All my thoughts and prayers are out for my very good friend Jude =
Williams.=20
