Jan 27th Highlights
-Black-backed Woodpecker (McDavitt Rd)
-Townsend Solitaire (40th Ave. East and Cooke St.)
-Hoary Redpoll
Jan 28th Highlights
-Boreal Chickadee (feeding at the suet feeder in Isabella)
-Red Crossbills (feeding on Hwy. 1 near Spruce Rd.)
-Goshawk (fly over along Lax Lake Rd. Lake Co.)
-Bohemian Waxwings (near the greenhouses along main drag in Two Harbors, =
Mn)
-Snowy Owls=20
1) Female type Snowy Owl along fence line north of Swan Lake Rd. =
(Airport area)
2) Male Snowy Owl on UHAUL sign north of Haine Rd. intersection along =
Hwy. 53.=20
* I don't understand why security forces are asking birders to leave the =
shoulders from Stebner Rd east of Hwy 53. This is a public road that =
borders the south side of the prison yard. This maybe the reason but it =
doesn't make sense to me. Stebner road changes its name to Airport =
Approach Rd after you cross Swan Lake Rd. Airport Approach road leads =
you to several business like Federal Express, Cirrus Design and a few =
others. Do not drive down the road that leads you to the air traffic =
control tower. The parking area is private and maybe birders are getting =
booted from this road?. I feel its okay or should be okay to bird from =
the parking lot of Federal Express and along the shoulder of Swan Lake =
Rd. or Airport Approach Rd. I was there one night and while the shift =
change was occurring at Cirrus Design, workers were stopping along the =
shoulder to view the male snowy owl on top of the telephone pole. We =
were not the only ones looking at the owl. Unless I hear differently =
these roads are public roads unless the prison officials have issues =
with birders with scopes near their property (?)
Jan 29
-Black-backed Woodpecker (McDavitt Rd) * Some birder hung a large red =
onion bag filled with suet across the snow shoe trail on McDavitt along =
the clear cut on east side of the road. Saw a mink feeding on it.=20
-Sharp-tailed Grouse (Co. Rd 7 one mile north of Co. Rd 52 in Sax Zim =
Bog area on west side of road)
-Glaucous Gull & Thayers Gulls
Other birds:
Common Redpolls, Pine Grosbeaks, Northern Shrike, Great Gray owls, Hawk =
Owls, Barred Owl, Harlequin Ducks, Pine Siskins, Robins, Bald Eagles, =
Gray Jays and other winter residents.
