My good friend Jeff Newman from Duluth called me tonight that he heard =
thru second hand that a Snowy Owl was seen at the railroad yard in =
Proctor, Minnesota. I am fairly certain that there will be some birders =
going to check out this sighting to try to locate it. If the owl is =
relocated it will be updated on the MOU listserve.
Jeff also found several flocks of Bohemian Waxwings on the west side of =
Duluth. I would check along Grand Avenue from Norton Park (Zoo area) and =
also in Morgan Park.
Well the Boreal Owls are showing signs of stress. So far in the past two =
days 4 Boreals were found roosting or hunting near roadsides or in =
residential yards.
Along the Pioneer Rd. east of McQuade Rd. there are some spruce trees =
with cones on them and I located 5 White-winged Crossbills feeding among =
them.
I found a Long-tailed Duck (male) among some Common Goldeneyes in =
Burlington Bay on the east side of Two Harbors.
I also got second hand reports in Lake Co (Isabella and Lake Co. Rd 2) =
of Spruce Grouse (14 of them), Black-backed Woodpecker (Sand River and =
Lake Co. Rd 2), Boreal Chickadees behind the Cafe along Hwy 1 in =
Isabella and aa Evening Grosbeak at the feeders at Moose Cafe in =
Isabella. ( Kim Risen reported these to me and a group from Wisconsin =
as well). Kim also told me about a Black-backed Woodpecker (2) on the =
southern tip side of the bog on McDavitt Rd.
I'll be out the next three days guiding a group from Arizona.=20
