Mike and other birders,
Here in AZ one prison we drive by is posted NO STOPPING - they are afraid
you are there to pick up a fleeing prisoner. We saw a special bird in the
yard and did stop. Immediately two guards came out. I walked to meet them,
and told them we were birders..... the upshot is that they DO NOT WANT CARS
STOPPING ANYWHERE NEAR THE PRISON. Could be the same reason you're being
asked to move on near the prison in Duluth.

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
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.
* 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.
-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.
