This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, January 6,
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.

This has been an unusual Christmas season with mild temperatures and
fog many days. It has contributed to  some lovely vistas, and has made
birding all the more pleasant. Most Christmas Bird Counts  have found
more species than usual this year with fewer cold fingers and toes.

Ben Fritchman reported on the CBC's held in the Long Prairie area in
Todd County on January 1, where a NORTHERN GOSHAWK, GREAT BLUE HERON,
GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET, SONG SPARROW,  and LAPLAND LONGSPURS were found
among others.

>From Otter Tail County, Eddy Edwards and Dan and Sandy Thimgan sent a
report on the Battle Lake CBC on January 1 , where 40 species were
tallied. They included one RING-NECKED DUCK, 4 GRAY PARTRIDGE, 8
EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVES, a GREAT BLUE HERON, and more than 50 BOHEMIAN
WAXWINGS. Interestingly, fewer than normal TRUMPETER SWANS were found.

On January 2, Shelley Steva saw about 250 SNOW BUNTINGS along MN 1 four
miles west of Warren in Polk County.

In Red Lake County, Shelley found an AMERICAN ROBIN in the town of
Plummer on January 4.

The Roseau CBC on December 31 found 36 species, a record number. They
included three BALD EAGLES, a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, a PRAIRIE FALCON near
the intersection of CR 308 and MN 89, a GYRFALCON flying over the Roseau
Lakebed along CR 123, 4 GRAY PARTRIDGE, and 13 SHARP-TAILED GROUSE.
There were 7 SNOWY OWLS, 12 NORTHERN HAWK OWLS, and three GREAT GRAY
OWLS. Five BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS, 25 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, 250 SNOW
BUNTINGS, 4 PINE GROSBEAKS, and three COMMON REDPOLLS were also
observed. Randy Prachar reported three NORTHERN HAWK OWLS at the Roseau
Lake WMA on December 27, a few days earlier.

I have a second hand report from Gretchen Mehmel that Ted Dick reported
six GREAT GRAY OWLS and one NORTHERN HAWK OWL along the Indian Pines
Road in Lake of the Woods County on December 29. I'm sorry but I do not
have more specific information about the location of that road.

Thanks to Randy Prachar, Ben Fritchman, Eddy Edwards, Gretchen Mehmel,
Ted Dick, and Dan & Sandy Thimgan for their reports.
