[mou] RFI Feeders Grosbeaks Redpolls

[Denise Ryan]

Greetings MN birders!  

I'm one of those out-of-towners planning a visit this weekend to check
out the owl action, but I'm also in search of some more Northern
specialty lifers while I'm in the area.  I would really appreciate
anyone offering information about what is being seen at their feeders
and if I may come and take a look in the Duluth/Sax-Zim/Superior
National Forest/and parts south area.  I'm specifically looking for
either kind of Redpolls, Pine Grosbeaks, Evening Grosbeaks, Varied
Thrush, Shrikes and Red Crossbills.  I'm traveling alone and would
certainly be respectful of your property and privacy - you set the
limits and I'll obey.  Keep those Loon, Grouse and other species
reports coming in too.  It is great information that I hope to follow
for more lifers.

Also, kind of a weird question - has anyone heard the GGOs or other
owls vocalizing in MN this winter?  Any recommendations about where to
hear wolves howling at night?  I might as well max out on the North
Woods experience.

If you want to share information, and share off-line, I can be reached
at screechowl@gmail.com  If you are inclined to share breaking
information over the weekend, my cell phone number is 202-431-0259. 
Many thanks!
