This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 3rd.
As of March 1st, the gray-morph GYRFALCON was still in Dakota County
near the junction of Dakota County Road 42 and state highway 55. Look
also near Jacob Avenue and county road 42, and at mile post 216 of
highway 55.
GREAT GRAY OWLS and NORTHERN HAWK OWLS are still easy to find across
northern Minnesota, especially in Aitkin County and Pine County. Many
observers report finding multiple Great Gray Owls along Aitkin County
Roads 4, 5, 22, 73, and along state highway 65. On March 2nd, Warren
Nelson found 46 Great Grays and two Hawk Owls along Aitkin County

On March 3rd, a SNOWY OWL was seen on a utility pole four miles south
of Claremont on Dodge County Road 3, a quarter of a mile north of
670th Street.
On the 25th, there were an estimated 300 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS in the
Smithville area of west Duluth. Thirty more waxwings were seen along
with a group of SNOW BUNTINGS along 5th Street Northwest in Aitkin,
Aitkin County, on March 2nd.
And the CAROLINA WREN is still being seen at the Old Cedar Avenue
Bridge area of Bloomington, Hennepin County. It was seen on the 2nd
across from the garden center.
