This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, January 20,
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.

January is winding down and we are still awaiting that severe cold spell
and blizzard that usually shows up early in a normal winter. Weather
continues to be rather mild, although a little cooler this week, and
snow continues to come a little at a time, covering up the glare ice
that lurks beneath on all the parking lots and country roads.

In Otter Tail County, Eddy Edwards reported that as of January 18, the
HARLEQUIN DUCKS were still hanging out near Hannah Park in Fergus Falls,
best viewed from a spot where Broadway dead ends on the south. They are
usually seen in the early morning and very late afternoon but are not
reliable at any other time of day.

Mel and Elaine Bennefeld reported a NORTHERN SHRIKE at the Ponderosa
Golf Club on January 15, and a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK and an immature GOLDEN
EAGLE at Buffalo River State Park, both in Clay County.

Rick Julian reporting from the northwest corner of Lake Ida in Becker
County has three MOURNING DOVES coming to his feeder; he also reported a
COMMON RAVEN seen near the Cormorant Lutheran Church.

An AMERICAN ROBIN was reported by Michelle McDowell in Climax, Polk
County, on January 13. Other Polk County species seen then were PILEATED
WOODPECKER, HARRIS'S SPARROW, DARK-EYED JUNCO,  and AMERICAN GOLDFINCH.

Shelley Steva also saw an AMERICAN ROBIN this week, this one in Oklee in
Red Lake County on January 13.

Steven Dahl saw a BALD EAGLE feeding on roadkill along US 59 in far
southern Pennington County on January 15.

On January 15, I saw a NORTHERN HAWK OWL in Marshall County along MN 89
south of CR 6. SNOW BUNTINGS were also seen in several places in
Marshall County and Kittson County as well. Lisa Newton continues to see
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS in Grygla, and a COMMON RAVEN was also there on
January 12. SHARP-TAILED GROUSE  were observed along CR 54 near Grygla
on January 14.

Larry Wilebski in northern Kittson County reported a NORTHERN GOSHAWK
near Lancaster on January 13. A PILEATED WOODPECKER was also seen this
week.

Owls were the story in Roseau County this week. On January 15,  a SNOWY
OWL was seen about three miles south of Roseau on MN 89, and several
NORTHERN HAWK OWLS were seen along MN 310, and on the Roseau Lakebed
along CR 123. Other species seen in Roseau County this week were
SHARP-TAILED GROUSE, COMMON RAVEN, and SNOW BUNTINGS.

Pat Rice saw a BALD EAGLE in Beltrami County on January 13. At her home
near Bemidji, she is hosting DOWNY WOODPECKER, BROWN CREEPER, PURPLE
FINCHES, up to  6 COMMON REDPOLLS, and 75-100 PINE SISKINS. Lisa Newton
reported COMMON RAVENS, and about 100 SNOW BUNTINGS in Beltrami County
on January 15.

Thanks to Mel and Elaine Bennefeld, Shelley Steva, Pat Rice, Larry
