Hello:

I got a call from Mark Ochs and he informed me that he and Paul Budde =
found another Boreal Owl along  Express way 61. The owl was .6 miles =
north of the Ryan Rd on the northbound lane of Hwy. 61.  the owl stayed =
in the area all day giving from what I heard around 70+ birders =
excellent looks. There was only one or two occasions when a woman and =
her two kids tried to approach the bird but was called back by other =
birders. She was a non birder and wanted to show her young kids the owl =
and another overly aggressive person tried to approach the bird within 7 =
feet of it to take a photo and again was called back by some birders. So =
we do police ourselves and keep a few people back from roosting Boreal =
Owls.

Lake Co:
-Boreal chickadees along Spruce Rd.=20
-Grey Jays feeding out of our hands on the Spruce Rd.

Sax Zim Bog
-Black-backed Woodpeckers (male and female) McDavitt Rd.
-Boreal Chickadees along McDavitt Rd.
-Northern Shrike alongCo. Rd 7

Duluth
-Bohemian Waxwings (500-700) Frank N. reported nearly 1200-1500 birds. =
46th Ave E and Cooke St.

* Had another report of a Boreal Owl in Aitkin Co. The owl was along Hwy =
65 north of Hwy 210 and I forgot the mile markers it was found near. It =
sounds like the owl has been seen along here on and off for a few days.  =
So if you are heading along 65 north of 210 keep an eye open along the =
ditches.

* Brown creeper was refound in the Sax Zim Bog along McDavitt Rd.
