This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, November 11,
2005 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You
may also hear this report by calling (218) 847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888.

A few snow flurries have been experienced in the last week, but none of
the white stuff has stayed on the ground, and temperatures continue to
be rather comfortable for this time of year. Winter residents are
beginning to be reported from all locations in the northwest.

Pat Rice saw 18 SNOW BUNTINGS, and 25 EVENING GROSBEAKS in Beltrami
County on November 4, and reported DOWNY WOODPECKER, PILEATED
WOODPECKER, one FOX SPARROW, DARK-EYED JUNCO, PINE SISKIN, and AMERICAN
GOLDFINCH on November 5. On the 9th, she had a HOODED MERGANSER at Stump
Lake, and on November 10, a male NORTHERN CARDINAL  visited her yard
twice.

Gary Tischer saw a flock of SANDHILL CRANES west of St. Hilaire in
Pennington County on November 8. A NORTHERN SHRIKE flew through our yard
on November 6. Shelley Steva reported a probable BARRED OWL that flew
across the road along MN 1 a half mile east of Pennington CR 20 on
November 9.

In Marshall County, Maggie Anderson observed SHORT-EARED OWLS several
times this week in the early morning and at dusk, along CR 12, also
known locally as the rangeline road. A flock of 20 SANDHILL CRANES was
seen near the north boundary of Agassiz NWR this week. On November 6, a
female COMMON MERGANSER was on Headquarters Pool, and several NORTHERN
HARRIERS, and ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS have been seen on the refuge.

>From Lake of the Woods County, Gretchen Mehmel reported a NORTHERN HAWK
OWL seen by some hunters along the walking trails east of Dick's Parkway
about 8 miles north of Fourtown this week. Other recent sightings in the
Beltrami Island State Forest included RUFFED GROUSE, SPRUCE GROUSE, BALD
EAGLE, ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, GRAY JAY, and EVENING GROSBEAK. An unusual
visitor was a female NORTHERN CARDINAL that showed up in the Norris Camp
yard last week.

Thanks to Maggie Anderson, Gary Tischer, Gretchen Mehmel, Pat Rice, and
Shelley Steva for their reports.
