This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, October 27th.
On October 25th, Michelle McDowell reported the brief observation of
a SAY'S PHOEBE out the office window at the Rice Lake National
Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Aitkin County. The Refuge Visitor
Center is five miles south of McGregor on state highway 65.
On October 22nd, a SABINE'S GULL was reported from the Grand Marais
harbor in Cook County near the trading post and the east side parking
lot. I have no other information on this bird, and what information I
have is secondhand.
A NORTHERN HAWK OWL was seen on the 27th in St. Louis County. Steve
Foss found it two miles west of Ely along U.S. Highway 169. Two more
Hawk Owls were seen by Frank and Susan Gilliland on October 24th
about five miles north of Waskish in northern Beltrami County. This
was at mile 42 of state highway 72.
Dee Kuder observed a GREAT GRAY OWL on October 12th in northern St.
Louis County, along state highway 73 near its junction with county
road 22.
A SHORT-EARED OWL was seen by Denny Martin at the Red Rock Prairie in
Cottonwood County on the 26th, as was a mixed flock of SMITH'S
LONGSPURS and LAPLAND LONGSPURS.
A pair of BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS was found in the pine plantation
behind Hawk Ridge in Duluth on the 24th.
On the 23rd a TUFTED TITMOUSE was in Nininger Township of Dakota
County. It was seen by Alex Lewinski at his bird bath. Some other
birds reported this past week include NORTHERN SHRIKE, BOHEMIAN
WAXWING, PINE GROSBEAK, RED CROSSBILL, PURPLE FINCH, and EVENING
GROSBEAK.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, November 3rd.
