I was out today birding with some folks from Missouri and Nebraska. We =
started at Sax Zim bog and drove this route:
-Along Co. Rd 133
-Along Co. Rd 7
-along Zim Rd.
-along McDavitt Rd.
-along Arkola Rd.
-Along Owl Ave.
How many Great Gray Owls we saw??? ZIPPO ! GOOSE EGG! ZILCH. We ran =
into other birders we same story. My opinion is that most if not al =
Great Gray Owls have left the Sax Zim area. BUTTTT The on last Thursday =
20 were seen and few days before 16 were seen in the "Bog". I would =
like to know how many Great Grays were seen this evening? Also our the =
Great Greys still in Northern Aitkin Co.?
We did manage to find Hawk Owls in good numbers. Also there is a feeder =
in Kelsey on Co. Rd 7 that has a cardboard sign that reads "Birdwatchers =
park here" I guess the residents are asking people to park along the =
shoulder and they are welcome to observe their feeders. The people here =
were even kind enough to move one the feeders near the road. This =
feeder has a good number of Pine Grosbeaks and and Redpolls.
I found or refound one of the Boreal Owls in Two Harbors today. I made =
calls to other guides and the word got around so I am sure others got to =
see it.=20
Bohemian Waxwings were along 18th Street and 8th Ave on the upper =
neighborhood of Two Harbors. We also refound some Hoary Redpolls coming =
to a feeder in Two Harbors.
The weather warmed up today and I wished I was on McDavitt later in the =
day when the winds died down. Tomorrow I will be in Lake Co. I will =
report my sightings Sunday night.
