This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, February 17,
2006 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.

Winter has made a comeback in northwestern Minnesota, as below zero
temperatures have arrived within the last two days. Wind is forecast ,
but at least the dirt is covered, so we won't be subjected to the usual
sandblasting. Most common birds reported this week have been Bald Eagles
and Snowy Owls which have been reported from all sorts of locations.

Two BALD EAGLES were reported by Duane and Marilyn Olson in Becker
County along the north side of Nelson Lake west of Detroit Lakes on
February 10. Larry Wold who lives near the east side of Tamarac NWR
reports that daily visitors at his feeders include one MOURNING DOVE,
RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, PILEATED WOODPECKER,  RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, and
WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH.

A RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER was found in the town of Lengby in eastern Polk
County on February 12. Erin Olson reported two GREAT HORNED OWLS already
with four young at their farm where they were resting on some hay bales.

Shelley Steva saw a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK in Red Lake County on February 6
one mile east of Plummer along CR 1. On February 14, Shelley found a
HORNED LARK three miles east of Plummer- one of the first spring
migrants, and something to comfort us while we and the lark shiver in
the latest cold wave. The SNOWY OWL in Red Lake County was relocated as
recently as February 16 by Anita Vettleson three miles east of US 59 and
about one mile south. Also in that county on February 12  were COMMON
RAVENS, and BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS.

A SNOWY OWL was found along MN 1 in Pennington County, three-quarters of
a mile east of 200 Ave NE east of Thief River Falls on February 12. On
February 16, Shelley Steva saw a different SNOWY OWL at milepost 59 on
MN 1  nine miles east of Thief River Falls. She reported a BALD EAGLE
along CR 5 one mile north of the Red Lake County line on February 15.

Lisa Newton reported two SNOWY OWLS relocated in Moylan Township of
Marshall County on February 11. They were seen along MN 219 in the NE
quarter of section 8 on the west side of the highway, and in the NW
quarter of section 33 on the east side of the highway. The same day, I
saw a beautiful dark phase ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK at the intersection of
Marshall County Roads 7 and 12 near the west side of Agassiz NWR.=20

Melissa Galland reported a BALD EAGLE northeast of Clearbrook in
Clearwater County on February 11.

Mark and Anita Vettleson saw a pair of BALD EAGLES seven miles north of
Bemidji along MN 71 on February 10.
